As the Kiama Nippers season draws to a close this month, Kells Lawyers is proud to continue its longstanding sponsorship of the Kiama Nippers, a cornerstone of the Kiama community.
The Kiama Nippers, part of the Kiama Surf Life Saving Club, provide children aged 5–14 with the skills, confidence, and enjoyment of surf lifesaving through a safe, structured, and fun program.
Kells Lawyers has been a flag-year sponsor for the past five years, reinforcing the firm’s
commitment to investing back into the communities that have supported its growth and prosperity.
Michael Hatfield, Partner at Kells’ Kiama office and local resident, commented "Supporting the Kiama Nippers is about more than sponsorship, it’s about giving back to the community that has given us so much. Over the past five years, we’ve seen firsthand the positive impact this program has on children and families across Kiama. Being part of this tradition, and helping nurture young lifesavers, is something we’re proud to contribute to."
Through its ongoing support, Kells Lawyers helps the Nippers continue to deliver a program that builds confidence, skills, and a love of the ocean, while strengthening community connections across Kiama.
"Investing in grassroots initiatives like the Nippers is part of how we give back to the region,"
Michael Hatfield added. "Our firm’s success is tied to the health and vibrancy of the community around us, and we’re committed to supporting programs that make a real difference."
Kells’ sponsorship underscores the firm’s broader commitment to local sport, youth programs, and community development across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region.
