Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club

The Richardson & Wrench eastern suburbs agencies, including Double Bay, Bondi Junction, Bondi Beach, Elizabeth Bay, Maroubra and Alexandria/Waterloo, work closely as a dedicated group. A particular focus of our group is community support. The local surf life saving club relies heavily on sponsorship, and with limited resources provide the community with a very valuable service.

The opportunity to purchase a new surf boat for them was significant, as several of our Directors have been involved with the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club for a number of years.

So, to the community that supports us, we’d like to say thank you… and give you something in return.

Starlight Children's Foundation
