Queensland Country Bank's Maroochydore branch have dived straight into community spirit, proudly partnering with the iconic Alexandra Headland Surf Life Saving Club to support its much-loved Nippers program.
The Branch has supplied six new surfboards and a marquee to help young lifesavers build water skills, confidence, and ocean safety knowledge.
Helen Butler, General Manager of the Club said the support form Queensland Country Bank allowed their youngest surf lifesavers to have access to the equipment they need to learn, grow, and thrive on the beach.
"With the largest number of Nippers learning surf skills in Queensland, our Club's equipment needs are significant, and we are committed to ensuring that no child ever misses out. Thanks to community-minded partners like Queensland Country Bank, we can continue delivering a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every Nipper, supported by our amazing team of volunteers. Support like this means the world to us and helps shape the next generation of confident, capable surf lifesavers," she said.
"Supporting the Alexandra Headland Nippers is exactly the kind of community partnership we're proud to stand behind," Queensland Country Bank CEO Aaron Newman said. "Local clubs like Alex Surf Club play such an important role in helping young Queenslanders build confidence, resilience, and vital life skills. It's a privilege to play a small part in backing the volunteers, families, and future lifesavers who make this community so special."
This community connection comes as the Maroochydore branch continues to settle into its new home after opening earlier this year. It also builds on Queensland Country Bank's wider commitment to supporting local Queenslanders through initiatives like their Good for Good Community Grants and their recently announced sponsorship of Volunteering North Queensland
