Killcare Surf Life Saving Club has received $4,000 from the Federal Government’s 2023/24 Volunteer Grants Program.
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid popped by to deliver the cheque and said surf lifesavers did outstanding work patrolling the Coast’s beaches and keeping our community safe.
“This funding will support the club’s volunteers by equipping them with new skills and resources,” he said.

“Killcare Surf Club appreciates the support of Dr Reid with our work patrolling Killcare beach” he said.
“Dr Reid has been a consistent and strong supporter of the club and its activities.”
