A charity has launched itself into the virtual world of Minecraft.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) wants kids addicted to the game to take part in a “Beach Builder Challenge” where they can have fun and also learn how to stay safe around water this summer.

Available to play from 1 August, the challenge has been created by the RNLI to teach children about beach safety at a time when many will be visiting the coast during school summer holidays.
