Did you know that the operations of the club cost hundreds of thousands of dollars every year?

This covers equipment replacement, training, uniforms, and the costs of administering a large organisation.

We have developed the Bondi SBLSC Trust that maintains a separate investment account to ensure transparent operations on behalf of the club.

You can also make a specific bequest if you wish to directly support lifesaving, competition, training, junior activities, or prizes/ awards.  You can ensure that the funds are then applied directly to the area you want. If interested in this, please contact treasurer@bondisurfclub.com to discuss options.

Leaving a gift in your Will is a great way to ensure that you continue to support and make a meaningful contribution to the club into the future. Gifts of all sizes make a critical difference in funding the growth of the club. A gift in Will is a perfect way to ensure that your legacy lives on and you continue to contribute to those things that are most important to you, giving hope to future generations.

In leaving a gift in Will, you’ll be joining like-minded people who are making a lasting legacy to the club as part of the Bondi Benefactors Program.

You will be kept up to date with club activities. You will also be extended invitations to attend special events, to meet our patrols and to tour our operations so that you can learn more about the impact of your generous support in contributing to our lifesaving operations.

Leaving a gift in your Will is a big decision and we suggest that this is something that you’re best to discuss and arrange with your solicitor or Estate planner.  If you don’t currently have a Will, a solicitor can help you to draft one to ensure that your wishes are reflected.

Making a Will need not be complicated. In many cases it is very straightforward. Before preparing your Will, it’s important to ensure that you have thought about your wishes so that assets and a lifetime of hard work are directed to people and organisations that reflect your values and that are important to you.

Your Will doesn’t need to be complicated. It should simply reflect your wishes, what you want to be remembered for, and what’s important to you. In making a Will, the most important people you should consider first are your loved ones.

Once you have provided appropriately for them, consider making a gift to Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club Inc. as well.
