It’s fantastic to have partners such as the North Coast Hotel Group and AHANSW who can help us stand shoulder to shoulder with our local communities up in the Mid-North Coast to support our neighbours who are facing difficult times following the floods. ”

GIVIT will use funds raised to ensure people have access to the essential goods and services they need to rebuild after this disaster. ”
AHA NSW Director of Liquor and Policing, John Green, comments: “Our hotels are doing it tough right now, and so any support we can provide we will do. We hope that through this initiative our members, their patrons and the wider community can benefit and get some relief where it is needed most. ”
Co-owned NCHG, Charlie Nalder, adds: “We are thrilled to help do our bit in supporting our community up here in the Mid-North Coast in getting back on their feet. Our doors are open to welcome anyone who is able to show their support simply by purchasing a schooner. ”
