Corporate Citizenship

Holiday World is corporate member, regular contributor and sponsor of Rotary Club of Nelson Bay. Our close relationship with the volunteers of the club and their regular philanthropic activities, Holiday World continues to make an ongoing contribution to local fund raising events and international projects.

Narelle Melhuish, on behalf of Holiday World, has been a Paul Harris Fellowship Awardee since 2016; one of the highest honours Rotary can bestow upon a person. Recipients are Rotarians and community professionals, in recognition of their outstanding contributions, exemplifying the highest ideal in Rotary in placing “SERVICE ABOVE SELF.” This honour accompanies a donation of $1,000 or more, in the recipient’s name, to Rotary International’s “Annual Program Fund,” which supports Rotary’s world-wide programs.

Some of the activities we have contributed to are:

The Rotary Foundation raised more than $395 million last Rotary year (2018/19) to help  Rotarians continue with their hard at work in providing opportunities for communities that need the most help. That includes more clean water, less disease, and hope for a peaceful world.

SHELTERBOX

ShelterBox helps some of the world’s most vulnerable people by providing shelter and warmth to families who have lost their homes and possessions following a natural disaster, conflict or other humanitarian crisis.

ShelterBox prepositions aid around the world so that our teams can respond immediately following a disaster and through Rotary Club of Nelson Bay, Holiday World has purchased a Shelter Box and contributed to others donated by the club.  The gifts help provide tools for those in need survive and begin rebuilding their lives.
