This funding covers:
Coaching staff support: A significant portion of the funds is dedicated to compensating our qualified coaching staff. These individuals play a pivotal role in teaching, coaching, and guiding the students through their swimming journey. It is essential to note that our coaches are highly qualified and undergo annual continued professional development to stay informed about the latest techniques and technologies in swimming instruction.
Transportation assistance: Recognising the unique challenges faced by underprivileged children, we understand the importance of providing reliable transportation. A portion of funds are allocated to cover the costs associated with collecting the students from their respective homes and ensuring their safe return after each session. This not only enhances accessibility to our program but also ensures the well-being and safety of the children involved.
Equipment: A percentage of funding enables us to purchase essential equipment needed to conduct swimming lessons such as kick boards, flippers, and noodles. These items are essential for beginner swimmers to gain confidence and coordination in the water.
Clothing: Every year AAS purchases T-shirts with our logo on for the students and volunteers. When we have a big event, extra T-shirts are purchased for the many volunteers and presenters that participate.
General running costs: This includes media engagements, administration, coach support stipends, bookkeeping and all equipment and clothing listed.
Accounting: Bizrev runs our books and financials, auditing the NGO every year.
