Here’s how to support the NSRI:
1. Download the Woollies app.
2. Join MyDifference.

- Existing Woolies customers: sign in to your profile.
3. Go to your Loyalty hub and tap ‘Causes’.

5. Search for National Sea Rescue Institute – NSRI.
6. Choose us before the selection window closes on 30 June 2026.
7. Scan your digital MyDifference card every time you shop at Woolworths.
It’s that easy to give back – and help save lives.
Why it matters
Every donation raised through MyDifference supports the NSRI’s mission to save lives on South African waters and teach children and adults how to stay safe around water. With your help, we can continue to expand our rescue services and prevention programmes – from our volunteer rescue crews to our survival swimming and water safety initiatives.
Join today and make a difference.
