Director of Public Health issues warning over open water dangers as temperatures set to rise again across North Northamptonshire
"It has come to my attention that some of our younger residents have been seen swimming in open water at The Embankment in Wellingborough this week. They were not only seen swimming in a spot which is known to pose danger, but they also appeared to be unaccompanied by an adult."

πŸš’πŸ’¦ Drowning Prevention Week is here, and we are proud to be supporting this lifesaving message.

Join us at Splash Leisure Pool this evening where we will have Rushden Fire Station down with the fire engine, giving families and children to the chance to meet firefighters, explore the appliance, and learn more about staying safe around water.

Drowning can happen quickly and silently, but together we can help raise awareness and build water safety skills that save lives.

Come along and say hello, and help us spread the message that water safety is everyone's responsibility.

Please note if there is an emergency the fire service will have to leave site.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Why not ask about our Learn to Swim programme at Reception and see how our lessons can support you and/or your child to feel more confident in and around water don't wait until your summer holiday bags are packed. Can't stop - you can phone Splash on 01933 410505 for more information

Behind every statistic is a story.

A story of someone becoming more active.
A story of someone feeling less isolated.
A story of someone taking positive steps towards better health.

We are proud to be supporting the campaign over this week. Today is Seriously Social about 'Health and Wellbeing'. The Healthy Communities team support tackling health inequalities, reducing the financial burden on the NHS and provide a people-centred approach to all that we do.

Last year we supported local people to come together and improve their wellbeing, because when communities come together, wellbeing grows. Every number represents someone who has found support, friendship, motivation or a pathway to better health.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on the journey. Here's to creating even more opportunities to connect, thrive and stay active together.
