THE Tooheys NSW Flood Relief Initiative has donated $60k to the recovery effort being carried out across flood-affected areas of the state, including the Mid North Coast.
In partnership with North Coast Hotel Group (NCHG), C.ex Group and the Australian Hotels Association of New South Wales (AHA NSW), the initiative ran from 12 June to 9 July 2025.
To support the initiative, residents were encouraged to purchase a Tooheys schooner at NCHG and C.ex Group venues. .
For every schooner sold, participating venues donated $50c each to GIVIT, the national not-for-profit donation platform providing essential goods and services to flood-impacted communities.
AHA NSW donated $25,000 to the Initiative, which Tooheys matched with a further $25,000.
“Massive thanks to all the people in the local community who visited our venues and purchased a schooner of Tooheys New,” said Charlie Nalder, Director at North Coast Hotel Group.
“With your support we have been able to contribute to the fundraiser and help the affected communities south of us.
“The generosity of our patrons and staff was inspiring, and together we’ve made a real difference.”
Participating venues included the Hoey Moey, Seaview Tavern, Coramba Hotel, Corindi Beach Hotel, Crown Hotel, Good Intent Hotel and Village Green Hotel.
GIVIT CEO Chris Staines said the donated funds will be used to provide “essential goods and services to affected communities”.
“This includes providing grocery and fuel vouchers for residents who are experiencing financial hardship as well as furniture, whitegoods and household essentials to families and community members moving back into repaired homes and businesses,” he said.
“These donations have a huge impact on people doing it tough following a disaster.”
