FAR NORTH COAST SURF LIFE SAVING FUNDING SUPPORT EXTENDED AHEAD OF ANNUAL BRANCH CHAMPIONSHIPS
David Parker and Wilson Cregan shake hands on a three year extension of funding
There is good news for the region’s surf lifesaving community and beach goers ahead of this weekend’s annual branch championships with Newcastle Permanent renewing its support for another three years. Far North Coast Surf Life Saving branch president Wilson Cregan said the funding from Newcastle Permanent will help provide equipment but also support training and programs such as Nippers to give young people skills in and out of the water. “Our partnership with Newcastle Permanent is about youth development and helping us to help keep local and tourists safe at the beach,” Mr Cregan said. “It takes a lot of funding and resources to provide surf lifesaving services and programs like Nippers, so our ongoing partnership with Newcastle Permanent is vital,” he said. The Far North Coast
Branch Championships will be held at Cudgen Beach on December 11 and 12. The combined seniors and nippers’ carnival will have competitors from age seven through to 70 in beach events, water events and combined events such as Iron Man. Mr Cregan said it is fitting to be holding the championships at Cudgen as the club will celebrate its centenary next year. Newcastle Permanent’s Ballina branch manager David Parker was a nipper at Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club. He is one of the Junior Surf Life Saver of the Year judges and will present the award at the carnival on Sunday. Mr Parker said, as a customer owned financial institution, Newcastle Permanent is about supporting community and this partnership does that in several ways. “Surf Life Saving Clubs teach young people surf safety, the physical and mental health benefits
of being active, as well as teamwork and leadership skills for their future lives,” Mr Parker said. “This funding renewal means the Newcastle Permanent is supporting every surf lifesaving club from the Central Coast to the Queensland border,” he said. Despite the impacts of COVID-19, Far North Coast Surf Life Saving’s membership is continuing to grow. Almost 1800 young people, aged five to 13, are registered to do Nippers across 10 clubs from Yamba to Fingal Heads. It is not too late to register for Nippers or get involved in supporting or volunteering at local clubs. Visit www.slsfnc. com.au Every year, Newcastle Permanent invests almost $1.5 million into local communities through its partnerships, employee donations, volunteering and fundraising programs.
