SAFE BEACHES, CLEAN BEACHES
SLSQ's fundraising efforts ensure that the organisation can continue its mission of keeping Queensland beaches safe, prevent drownings and promoting safe water activities. The funds raised typically go towards:
Equipment: purchase and maintenance of essential gear like rescue boards, first-aid supplies, and communication tools.
Training: SLSQ invests in training their volunteer lifesavers, from basic skills to advanced lifesaving techniques.
Education: campaigns to raise awareness about beach safety, such as the "Swim Between the Flags" initiative.
Volunteers: providing support and recognition programs, uniforms, and insurance for all volunteers.
General: everyday operational expenses, required to successfully run their surf life saving clubs.
