Get Involved

Water Safety New Zealand seeks support (cash, inkind and voluntary time) to help educate, empower and support people to be safe when they are in, on or around water. Your support will make a tangible and positive difference to New Zealand’s drowning toll.

We work with funders and supporters with shared values and missions.

How you can support water safety

Tell us your story

Water safety effects all of us. Sadly there are too many incidents of people getting into trouble in the water. If you have a story you'd like to share, we'd like to hear about it. We are continually learning and your story may help others. 

Volunteer

The gift of your time to support water safety can be made in various ways. We work with our sector partners, Surf Life Saving New Zealand, Coastguard New Zealand, Swimming New Zealand and other water safety agencies. 

Donate

Your donation can help children learn vital water safety skills in your community. This can be delivered directly to your nominated school to help cover the cost of water safety lessons or help a school keep their school pool operating.

Fundraise

We can help you raise money for your school through our Aloe Up Sunscreen fundraiser. You raise funds to help cover the cost of water safety lessons or help keep your school pool operating, AND for every sunscreen sold, we also donate funds to your project.

Become a Partner

Join our partners in creating social change around New Zealand's water safety culture. Help us make a difference when you support our programmes with cash and/or inkind support. Or have a water safety programme you'd like us to consider ring Sheridan on 04 801 9600.

Payroll Giving

This is one of the easiest methods of giving to water safety. Your employer will deduct your regular donation every pay day and you receive immediate tax credits that reduce your PAYE payable. You don't need to wait until the end of the year to claim your tax credit.

Together, we’re building the capacity of Kiwis, new New Zealanders and visitors to New Zealand to have safe experiences in, on or around the waterways of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Together, we’re helping people be active, have fun and share the joys and experiences of their water adventures with families and friends. Be it swimming or scuba diving, floating or fishing, water safety is a fundamental foundation to a flourishing New Zealand society.

All financial support is channelled into the communities of most need and where the fit between programmes and organisations or individuals is best aligned.
