Be the Business

That Saves Lives

Partner with Nelson Surf Life Saving Club to complete a once-in-a-generation community asset at Tāhunanui Beach.

The Opportunity

Nelson Surf Life Saving Club is in the final phase of delivering its first permanent clubhouse — a purpose-built base for patrols, rescues, training, and emergency response.

With $3.29M of $4.9M already secured, we are now inviting a small number of businesses to partner with us to help complete the build and be permanently recognised as part of Nelson’s lifesaving future.

That’s all the context a sponsor needs.

  • Align your brand with safety, resilience, and community wellbeing

  • Be visibly connected to one of Nelson’s most trusted volunteer organisations

  • Secure long-term recognition tied to a permanent public facility

  • Demonstrate leadership through meaningful, local impact

  • Build staff pride and community goodwill
