Our Community
Where we live
I believe genuinely participating in the community we live in is crucial to strengthening it’s future.
NSPT is a very proud sponsor of SalTy Souls Legacy. SalTy Souls is a non-profit collective providing Surf Therapy programs for kids and teens to help with healing, connection and engagement. Through their 6-week ‘Stand Tall’ Program the SalTy Souls team help young people explore the therapeutic and positive wellbeing benefits of surfing on the Sunshine Coast.
I know that when I see young people in the Stand Tall program they always have a smile on their face.
Supporting Families on the Sunshine Coast
In partnership with a national children’s charity that champions educational equity, we offer free counselling services to local vulnerable children from disadvantaged backgrounds. These children might otherwise lack access to such support due to financial constraints.
Pippies Nippers, run by Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club, is a program for children and youth aged 5 years and above with disabilities who are unable, or find it difficult, to participate in regular nippers due to additional support requirements. On scheduled dates each lifesaving season Pippies Nippers take to the sand and ocean to experience flag races, swimming and board paddling in a happy and safe ‘red and yellow’ environment. The goal is for ‘Pippies’ to learn about the beach environment, gain confidence in the water and have fun!
