Clubhouse Repairs and Seawall/Boat ramp project. Please, we need your help! 8 August 2025
The Mangawhai Heads Volunteer Lifeguard Service is nearing completion of a major landslip repair behind our clubhouse — a huge step in restoring our operations. But we urgently need your help to fund critical repairs to the clubhouse itself, as well as essential upgrades to the seawall and boat ramp that protect our base.
These coastal defences are vital for long-term safety, especially as extreme weather increases. Despite having insurance for the building and a resource consent and full design plans for the seawall, our funding applications have fallen short.
We’re now turning to the community — every donation, sponsorship, or offer of support helps secure this vital facility for future generations: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/clubhouse-repairs-please-we-need-your-help
