Wristbands Are Very Helpful

Families that are planning for a trip along the seaside can be sure that their children are safe on the beach thanks to a 'tag your toddler' scheme being operated by councils in England. This scheme has helped a lot to the councils because they can find lost children very quickly and bring them back to their parents. Councils have recorded a drop in the number of lost children on their beaches since introducing tag your toddler wristbands.
Torbay council runs a scheme where they give free wristbands on which parents can write their mobile number so that if the child gets separated they can quickly be united with their mum and dad. Another Bournemouth borough council has come out with a kid zone scheme. Color Wristbands are given to children on the bases of the beach zone so that families could link with their children to a particular 200m stretch of the beach. Bournemouth borough council works on eight beaches like the alum chine, Bournemouth west and east, boscombe west and east, Durley chine, fisherman's walk and south Bourne. East Bourne borough council's 'kid zone' scheme operates on the main beach between the wish tower and pier where children's can get color coded with matching wristbands from the bathing and lifeguard station, bandstand office, beach lifeguards and deckchair attendants. Wyre borough council has enrolled under tag your toddler scheme where parents can write their mobile number on the wristband and give it to their children. The three beaches in Hartlepool are color coded and lifeguards issue them, color matched wristbands. East Lindsey district council give sea smart wristbands to their parents on which they can write their mobile number. Wristbands are very helpful to parents as they can find their lost child very quickly.
In Beijing Olympics, wristbands are set up as a token modeled on the "smile Beijing" theme. These wristbands are meant to promote harmony and civic-mindedness among public. The paralypic version of the "smile wristbands"is specially printed with Paralympic games and volunteer slogans in Braille. In Beijing Olympics smile wristbands were worn. Smile wristbands were made for Olympic volunteers. Smile wristbands have different colors for different purposes. Like red color represents smile, obligation and willingness to help others, yellow represents smile, obligation and the practice of civility and etiquette. Black represents smile, obligation, honesty and credibility. Blue represents smile, obligation and willingness to learn for the sake of progress. Green represents smile, obligation and participation in environmental protection. Smile wristbands for Olympic volunteers are unveiled, 700,000 people register as volunteers.
