My name is Debbie Anne Turnbull MBE Founder and Managing Director of RASS River And Sea Sense Ltd - RASS is a non-profit organisation set up in 2008 due to the drowning of my son at Capel Curig North Wales

Since then I have educated over 930.000 young people and families in schools and youth groups about the dangers of open water -

I have won many awards including the MBE from Princess Anne - The Points Of Light from UK Government - The National Lottery Special Achievement Award Presented by Bear Grylls - and The Great British Entrepreneur Award -

When Chris who was a brilliant swimmer and played rugby drowned in 2006 - it was a huge struggle mentally and as time passed I trained in many modalities to cope with the overwhelming grief - after supporting many women and young people and families as part of RASS I set up Rising Stronger - a new project to support women girls young people and families to cope with grief loss and life’s challenges - this is proving very popular and is growing in the communities I support there are online workshops - walk and talk groups and 1 to 1 support sessions.
