Narelle, our Senior Customer Service Officer, has chosen to donate her $1000 staff
contribution this year to the Mount Martha Life Saving Club. Narelle and her family
have been proud members of the club for 12 years, during which she has seen
firsthand the vital role it plays in our community.
Through its Nippers and Seniors Programs, the club helps young people build essential water safety knowledge, confidence and basic lifesaving skills while learning about being safe down at the
beach.
These young participants can go on to become qualified surf lifesavers who are a
familiar sight on our beaches each summer in their red and yellow, providing patrols, preventing accidents, and performing rescues when needed. Last year alone, 30% of
visitors to the Peninsula attended Mt Martha beach, where club lifesavers carried out 1,310 preventative actions (up from 699), 9 rescues and patrolled a total of 4,801
hours.
Club President John Harvey expressed his gratitude for Narelle’s support, noting that the funds will be put to very good use.
Narelle and Mt Martha Community Bank are proud to stand behind an organization
that strengthens safety, community spirit, and the wellbeing of everyone who enjoys
our beautiful coastline.
