Every child deserves the opportunity to learn how to swim and stay safe around water.

Through the ongoing partnership between NBS, Fifeshire Foundation and Richmond Aquatic Centre, more local children are gaining access to swimming and water safety lessons that build confidence, resilience and skills for life.

For many families, the cost of lessons can be a barrier. Together, we're helping remove that barrier and creating opportunities for 95 children who may not otherwise have access to structured swim education.

In a region where rivers, beaches and pools are a big part of everyday life, water safety skills are something that can make a lifelong difference. We're proud to support a programme that helps young people feel confident in and around the water while giving local whānau access to valuable opportunities.

When Ramiesha arrived in Nelson from Sri Lanka as an international student, she experienced first-hand the importance of connection and belonging.

Today, that experience shapes her work with Multicultural Nelson Tasman, helping others feel welcomed and connected in the Nelson region.

“Being part of Multicultural Nelson Tasman means a lot to me, especially as a migrant myself", she says. "Supporting others on their journey is incredibly meaningful. Seeing so many cultures come together, sharing traditions and watching the wider community embrace that is incredibly rewarding. Every time we see our events growing and reaching more people, it feels like a proud moment.”

With support from NBS, the organisation can continue bringing communities together and celebrating the cultures that make our region special.

Last night, we hosted a GoAccounting BA5 at Trafalgar Park Pavilion. Talk about an epic location! 🏈

It was great to share our commitment to supporting our regions, reinvesting our profits into the business and the communities we serve.

The evening also gave the opportunity to acknowledge and thank Findex for their support of Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce BA5 events over the past 7 years, and to welcome GoAccounting as their new BA5 partner.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and for the Chamber of Commerce team for being such excellent facilitators.

Rate matters, but so does how well a loan can move with you 🏠

Fixed terms end, incomes change and sometimes what you need is simply more flexibility for a renovation, a big life event or some breathing room.

That is what NBS’ Residential Redraw Home Loan is built for. It’s a fixed-rate home loan that still lets you make extra payments and redraw funds when you need them, free of charge, up to twice a month.
