Lifeguard cover has finished for the season at Westward Ho! Thank you for everything and for giving up time to come up to Affinity last month as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations. Should we make this an annual event?

If you’re planning on bringing your four legged friend to the Dog Show, this weekend, we have a dog basket full of pawsome gifts to spoil any pampered pooch.

From treats, to bowls, toys, bandanas and more. We even have a cuddly “Monty” to cuddle if you don’t have a dog of your own.

Treat your faithful friend and help our crews save lives in woof seas!

We’ve had an amazing couple of days in the mall outside our shop in Affinity Devon to celebrate our Lifeguards and the RNLI.

We were joined by our lifeguards, Water Safety Team, Lucy from the Appledore Lifeboat Crew and our shop team.

We engaged with over 250 people to promote safety in the water, handing out gifts and ensuring people know what to do if they get into difficulty.

We all had a brilliant time and, if you missed us, you can call into the shop where you’ll find lots of things to help you stay safe. Watch this space for our next event.
