Honorary Rewards are granted for Saving Life from Drowning in all British
Possessions.

Pecuniary Rewards are granted within an area of Thirty Miles around the Metropolis. During the Skating Season, experienced Icemen are provided to prevent loss of life in the various waters about London; and Boats are in daily attendance, morning and evening, to prevent fatal results attending Accidents to the enormous number of Bathers in the Serpentine.

Nearly Three Hundred Places in and around London are furnished with Life-Saving Apparatus to rescue persons from Drowning.

The Society has for the past twelve years encouraged Swimming competitions with "reference to Saving Life from Drowning," and Prizes are annually given for proficiency in them at various leading Schools and Training Ships selected by the Committee.

The Society is known throughout all the civilised world, but the pecuniary support it receives is quite inadequate to its usefulness, and it is necessary to remind the inhabitants of London that during a severe winter the Society has to incur a large outlay in finding ice-boats, ladders and ropes, for the protection of those who venture on dangerous ice; also for the wages and equipment of Icemen.
