Championing Surf Life Saving Australia's Ongoing Efforts

This year, Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) have attended 30 Goodwill Projects markets and raised over $50,000 to fund essential training and equipment. With the busy summer season just around the corner, these funds will make a huge difference in keeping Aussie beaches safe for everyone.

But they’re not done yet—their goal is to hit $80,000 by the end of the year, and we’re determined to help them get there.

We’re big believers in championing individuals and small communities — from the farmers, makers, bakers, and creators, to our customers who shop local and independent over big and anonymous.

Honouring Everyday Heroes

Now, we’re proud to extend that support to SLSA who, just like our farmers markets, create a space for individuals to come together, socialise, and have a positive impact on the people around them.

Take 94-year-old Claude Jeanneret, who was recently awarded Surfers Paradise Surf Life Saving Club’s longest serving member and has been a “clubbie” since WWII.

These everyday heroes dedicate countless hours to make sure our coastline is safe for everyone, and we’re honored to provide a platform that helps them raise the funds they need.
