Grange SLSC is a community organisation, whose volunteers provide, first and foremost, surf lifesaving services to our community and a nurturing and positive environment for the development of children via our Tiny Tot and Nipper programs and teenagers via the Youth Program, leading into the Seniors program where trained young adults are patrolling the beach as qualified surf life savers and continue to train, grow their life skills and participate in the Club.
Members of all ages benefit from being a part of Grange SLSC with continuous training, proficiency assessments and competition in beach awareness, first aid, CPR, water rescue, water craft and surf sports, as well as being an active volunteer in the myriad of roles within the Club and our community.

We have many young people that would like to learn more about be a trainer themselves and we would like to be able to get some equipment that can assist in this area. We need some technology to make the teaching easier and assessable especially for those that can not attend in person.
