16. The Lyrical Lifesaver: Kate Craven

Who doesn’t love a singalong? Meet the RNLI Water Safety Officer whose talks enthral adults as much as kids

Surprisingly, around 50% of those who get into trouble in the water never intend to get wet in the first place. So education is key. Hunstanton RNLI’s Lifeboat Visits Officer Kate Craven reveals how the Hunstanton volunteers draw in a crowd, why you can’t beat a catchy song, and why, after the children have left the station, some lifesavers are left with a tear in their eye.
