Safeguarding our home
Growing tomorrow’s leaders
Extending our community service
North Cottesloe SLSC
was established in 1918 with just 35 members. It celebrated its centenary in 2018 and the club is now home to over 2000 members. It is a highly regarded institution within surf life saving and the broader community. The establishment of our own Foundation was identified as the best option for the club in order to manage and raise funds for the future.
It is one of the few surf clubs that owns its own facility. These are usually owned and maintained by a local government, therefore the club needs to ensure it has the funds on hand to rebuild or refurbish the building when it is needed. This cost is anticipated to be substantially more than the funds currently at hand. The future consideration of any new buildings and facilities will be in line with a proposed long-term masterplan for the club that will be developed in the near future and could include whole of club renovations.
Our club is much more than just a building however. It is also about its members, the community it serves and the environment it operates in. The Foundation will also support initiatives in skills and leadership development within the club membership along with programs serving our community and environment.
