Surf Life Saving  

ASB Community Trust funding at a regional level is helping Surf Life Saving Northern Region (SLSNR) to support 15 clubs and almost 5,000 volunteers working to prevent drowning and injury on our beaches.

August 2011
Over the past year a $486,000 grant helped fund surf lifesaving equipment for clubs in Auckland and Northland. The grant also helped pay for lifesaving training; a week-day Regional Lifeguard Service at the Northland beaches of Whangarei Heads, Ruakaka, Waipu Cove and Mangawhai Heads; an upgrade to SurfCom — SLSNR’s dedicated radio network; and leadership and development camps for the next generation of leaders within Surf Life Saving.

ASB Community Trust aims to provide strategic support at a regional level for rescue services and in recent years the Trust has worked closely with SLSNR to ensure its regional applications meet the needs of the community and have direct benefits.
