Bude Coastguard Matt Burton visited the Crackington Nippers Club on Sunday. Affiliated to Surf Lifesaving Great Britain, Crackington Nippers Club aims to educate every child in all aspects of beach safety, surf awareness, first aid and sport. There is a real emphasis on surf life saving and many of the club's former Nippers have gone on to become beach lifeguards working on local beaches and around the world. All the Nippers take sea and beach safety awards from Surf Life Saving Great Britain, the leading charity of volunteer beach life savers. Some 5,000 members give their time freely in over 70 life saving clubs around our coasts helping to make our beaches safer.
