Water safety hero honoured at National Lottery Awards

Water safety campaigner Debbie Turnbull is to be honoured with a Special Achievement Award at this year's National Lottery Awards.

Debbie's teenage son Chris drowned in 2006 while swimming with friends at Pont Cyfryng Falls in Gwynedd.

She set up River and Sea Sense, an organisation which tries to educate youngsters about water safety, to prevent another family from experiencing the same tragedy.

Debbie is being recognised for her work teaching water safety and CPR to children and young adults across Wales and the UK.
