Surf Life Saving GB (SLSGB) unites volunteers from all walks of life to save lives, educate communities and strengthen water safety across the UK’s coasts and inland waterways. Their collective impact delivers fewer drownings and accidents, improved wellbeing, stronger communities and vital life skills.

They are a national charity powered by around 10,000 volunteers who patrol beaches, deliver lifesaving training, support community resilience and nurture sport and development opportunities.

The International Life Saving Federation is a member-based organisation that leads the global effort to reduce injury and death, in, on, or around the water.

In addition to supporting national lifesaving organisations and advancing the global exchange of drowning‑prevention knowledge and best practices, they work to establish lifesaving organisations in regions where they are needed but not yet present. Their efforts are underpinned by close working relationships with international partners who share their mission.
