Gallions Housing Association and the Port of London Authority are teaming up to bring a life saving event to Thamesmead Town Centre on Monday 4 August.

The 3.5 hour event will run 9:30am-1:00pm and feature lots of interactive games designed to help boost children's knowledge about the dangers of waterways - an exercise that could potentially save lives.

This is part of Gallions' successful ongoing campaign launched in June last year, to help raise awareness of dangers and safe use of waterways. With the summer holidays in full swing, it has never been a better time to remind everyone of the dangers.
