A big thank you to No More Excuses for inviting us to be part of the paddle out last Sunday, 1 November.

It was great to see so many people come together to raise awareness and show their support for ending gendered violence.

We were grateful to have provided water safety for such an important cause. Thank you for having us!

Thank you for your support Byron Shire Council

🙏Thank you to our Surf Lifesavers as patrols return to our beaches.

The official Raising of the Flags ceremony at Brunswick Heads Surf Life Saving Club last weekend marked the beginning of the 2026-27 patrol season and served as an important reminder for locals and visitors to always swim between the red and yellow flags and follow advice from lifesavers.

Byron Shire Mayor Sarah Ndiaye said surf lifesavers play a vital role in keeping the community safe while helping build stronger and more connected communities.

“Surf Life Saving Clubs keep us safe, and we want to thank the incredible volunteers who give their time, skills and energy to protect people on our beaches every season,” Mayor Ndiaye said.

“Tweed, Byron, and Ballina have some of the highest rescue rates in the country, highlighting both the popularity of our coastline and the challenges our surf lifesavers face every day.

“Our lifesavers do an incredible job, but ultimately each of us has a responsibility to make safe choices when entering the water. The simplest way to stay safe is to swim between the flags at patrolled beaches and pay attention to the conditions and warnings from our surf lifesavers.”

“Thank you to Brunswick Heads Surf Life Saving Club, Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club and all of our local surf lifesaving clubs along the north coast for everything you do, season after season. We are incredibly grateful for your service to our community,” she said.

Thank you to all the Lighthouses in our club - past, present and future! You are appreciated and make a big difference to young clubbies and their journey.

I was so chuffed last week when I heard that Manny Freer - the Deputy Chief Training Officer of Bilgola Surf Lifesaving Club and a Foundation Mentor – had adapted my 'Lighthouse Model' for the club.

The model -- which is about how safe, adult allies can support young people on the bumpy ride to adulthood - is a perfect fit for surf lifesaving!

Funnily enough, my niece worked as a mentor for Cottesloe SLSC and my dad was a part of Albany SLSC in 1937-38, so it must be in the blood.

As an ambassador for Raise, and as someone who has been talking about lighthouses for a long time, I am profoundly thankful to see my work rippling out in this way.

I would encourage you to read Manny's excellent article explaining the lighthouse model and how it lands a little differently in surf lifesaving.

Additionally, Manny is hosting a live event on Wednesday 21st October in person at Bilgola SLSC (and online for folks who live elsewhere). It's an evening exploring how trusted adults can make a lasting difference in the lives of young people — in surf clubs and across our communities.

Thanks Manny, and to everyone who volunteers in Surf Lifesaving, keep shining that light!
