## Resource

Tragedy struck Manchester this past Saturday when a 15-year-old boy drowned in Clifton Country Park — just one of several heartbreaking drownings across the UK this week. Authorities are sounding the alarm as temperatures rise, urging caution around reservoirs, rivers, and ponds. In just one day, another teen’s body was recovered from a Stalybridge reservoir, and a 55-year-old woman died in a West Midlands pool. Over the past week, at least five young lives have been lost — including a 13-year-old in Leicestershire and a 22-year-old in Shrewsbury. These devastating incidents have sparked the “Save Lives for Sam” campaign, demanding urgent action: mandatory water safety education in schools and improved safety infrastructure at dangerous waterways. This is not just a weather warning — it’s a call to action to protect our children. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
