Surf Life Saving GB is the leading charity of volunteer beach lifesavers building healthier, safer communities. Our 5,000 members, aged 7-70+ come together and give their time freely, in our 70, Life Saving Clubs to develop their Life Saving Skills and to compete in Life Saving Sport.

  • Surf Life Saving GB is a charity of over 5,000 volunteers dedicated to saving lives on our beaches and coastal waters since 1955

  • Surf Life Saving Clubs are the heart of many communities - offering learning, development and a safe social environment for every member

  • Surf Life Saving Clubs develop active, socially responsible young people, who are safe on the beach and in the sea. They are trained in lifesaving skills and have a route to employment in the Lifeguard or Emergency Services
