Whangamata Surf Life Saving Club - Building Renovation Funding Gap!

$4,785 of $200,000 goal
Given by 67 generous donors in around 4 months

Whangamata Surf Life Saving Club still needs support to reduce the funding gap and clear our financial support commitments.

Whangamata, Waikato

We are thrilled to announce that the renovated club buildings will be ready for use in early October 2025 with a formal opening planned in November.

As you all appreciate funding has been a challenge in the current environment, with SLSNZ and a number of very special individuals/families ensuring our core build could be completed. However, we still have a sizeable funding gap in respect of completing our interior enhancements and fit-out of around $200,000.

About us

Our purpose is to protect our community in the water – an institution for promoting, enabling and delivering fun, safe coastal recreation.

Use of funds

Interior Fit out such as furniture, appliances, lighting, blinds to enable us to complete all aspect of the project by season opening.
