Save Lives at Sea
Our brand new teaching resource, Save Lives at Sea, is based on the British Library’s Campaign! Make an Impact model. Inspire your students into active citizenship and equip them to run their own campaigns using Sir William Hillary’s campaign to establish a national lifeboat service.
The resource pack includes primary sources, session plans, audio and video clips and more!
