Army of Quackers ducks ready for Royal Life Saving Day

Dig deep for Royal Life Saving Day this Friday

Our signature fundraising event, Royal Life Saving Day, is coming up tomorrow, Friday 3rd November! Our mascots Dippy Duck and Walter the Watchdog will be joining a team of volunteers to meet and greet people while collecting donations in the city and at metro train stations from 7am to 9am.

Royal Life Saving Society WA is determined to reduce the incidence of drowning in our state, through our water safety education and drowning prevention programs. As a community based not for profit organisation we rely on the support of donors and volunteers to ensure our message reaches the wider WA community.

There were 42 drowning deaths recorded in WA duirng 2016-17, which is an 11% increase on the previous year. Royal Life Saving Society WA CEO Peter Leaversuch says "we all need to play our part to ensure these statistics are reduced over the coming year. With another summer just around the corner I encourage everyone to think about how they might in their own way make a contribution to drowning prevention. It might be to improve your own lifesaving skills, raise awareness amongst your family and friends or make preparations to make sure you could help somebody in the water if the need arises. Put simply, Everyone Can Be a Lifesaver!"

Look our for volunteers shaking our Quackers collection ducks and selling some great merchandise. You can also show your support by popping a donation in a Quackers duck at one of more than 3000 retailers and businesses across the metro area, or by clicking the button below to donate online.
