Keeping boaters safe

Boaters who sign up to join the Friends of the River Nene at White Mills Marina will each receive a 3 ply face covering to help them stay safe on their boating journey thanks to a new initiative.

Earlier this month White Mills handed out disposable masks and gloves to all of its boaters; following the success and positive feedback the White Mills team received it was decided to extend the initiative to boaters visiting the marina to join the Friends of the River Nene.

Explained Debbie Skinner, “ Once restrictions began to ease we realised that many people would be feeling quite vulnerable and exposed as they ventured out on their boats. We decided to help alleviate their concerns a little by providing them with a couple of masks and disposable gloves to help them on their way, and we have been very pleased with the response. We are delighted to now extend the gesture to those boaters signing up to join the Friends of the River Nene at the marina.”
