The sister of Penryn fisherman Josh Winsper, who drowned a year ago after falling into the sea following a night out, is to appear on the Jeremy Kyle Show on Friday as part of a national campaign to raise awareness of the perils of drinking alcohol around water.

Paige Winsper has joined forces with the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS) to promote its #Don'tDrinkandDrown campaign which warns people of the dangers of being under the influence of alcohol near water. Josh, 24, had been working on a fishing boat out of Milford Haven last April when he fell from the dock after a night out drinking. His body wasn't found for 36 hours.

A year on and Paige, 20, is determined that Josh will not have died in vain and also wants to ensure her other brother, Ryan, who is also a fisherman, gets the message loud and clear. "If I know that what I'm doing saves one person's life, my job is done, but if I can reach 1,000 people then even better, " she said. "We have to protect our fishermen. I am doing it in Josh's memory, but also for Ryan who is still out there."

Paige, who is mum to Malania, was invited onto the Jeremy Kyle Show after the team heard her and Josh's story. In a departure from the more common family feud episodes, Paige will be highlighting the campaign and explaining how Josh's death has affected her family.

"I would not want my worst enemy going through what my family lived through," she said. "I remember every hour of that 36 hour search. I just thought I'm going to share my and Josh's story and see where it goes. The more I spoke about it, the more people picked it up and the next thing I knew I was up in Manchester for TV."

It is hoped more television appearances will follow Friday's Jeremy Kyle Show, along with features in national magazines. "I have a big mouth, I am a loud person and I am going to shout about this from the roof tops," said Paige.

"Before all of this I had nothing to do, I was completely lost. I thought what better thing is there than for me to put my grief into this. I have the passion to carry it on, I have the story to tell. Because I have had this tragedy happen to me I can go out and drink safe, but it's all about opening other people's eyes to the dangers."

The tragedy has changed Paige's life in a positive way. As well as working with the RLSS, which will see her go into local schools to warn of the dangers and take part in events during Drowning Prevention Week, she will also start training as a grief counsellor with Cruse Bereavement Care at the adult education centre in September.

"This time next year I want people to see my and Josh's faces and think of the prevention charity," she said. "In ten years' time I want to be running a charity in Josh' name and be helping people who have lost someone in similar circumstances and helping children as well."

Josh's family and friends gathered at a beach in Flushing recently to mark the first anniversary of his death when they reminisced and released balloons. They all hope Josh's memory will live on thanks to the awareness campaign. Two large banners promoting #Don'tDrinkandDrown, have been produced with the first one already in place at Milford Haven and the second to be hung in Falmouth soon. The plan is to have many more made and placed at ports and near water from Cornwall to Pembrokeshire.

"We did lose our boy from drink so I want to prevent it happening to anyone else in anyway I can," said Paige. "I feel proud and I feel Josh would be be proud of what I'm doing."
