Supporting Charities and Local Communities
Knightsbridge Insurance Group proudly supports charities and causes close to their hearts, including RSL Queensland, Free 3D hands and Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR Southport), both who raise funds and support families and friends in need.
Free 3D Hands designs and creates hands and assistive devices for children and adults all around the world. All hands and devices are provided absolutely free – they even pay the postage! Mat Bowtell Founder and CEO shares his designs under an open-source licence so others can make and repair their own devices and to encourage further innovation.
There are over 1 billion people around the world who require assistive devices. This number is predicted to double by 2030. For 90% of those people, access to assistive technology remains limited. Free 3D Hands exists to provide high-quality, low-cost designs for assistive devices for people with upper limb differences… for free.
If you believe in a world where assistive technology is available to everyone who needs it, help to create a future where limb difference doesn’t mean limited opportunity.
Visit www.free3dhands.org today to support the cause and make a difference.
The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.

Volunteer Marine Rescue Southport – Surfers Paradise ( VMR Southport ) was originally formed as Southport – Surfers Paradise Air Sea Rescue over 52 years ago.
The initial aim of this enthusiastic group was to assist boat owners and fishermen in crossing the notorious Southport Bar. Based on the Southport Spit, overlooking the Southport Broadwater, and with the Gold Coast Seaway just around the corner, VMR Southport’s Base is conveniently located to allow a rapid response to any emergency in the marine environment.
The safety of life, and the preservation of property at sea are the main goals of this highly trained volunteer community service Organisation. With modern 21st century skills, facilities, and state of the art equipment, VMR Southport is proud to be a leader in providing exceptional marine rescue services.
In 2022 VMR Southport will perform more than 900 marine rescue activations, and over 500 training runs, with 135 volunteer members contributing in excess of 75,000 unpaid man hours.
With 4 modern, fully equipped, specialised Rescue vessels, operated by highly trained crew, VMR Southport offers a membership that is a must-have cover for everyone, offering peace of mind and security whilst on the water. We rely on our communities generosity to provide an ongoing professional service to the users of the Gold Coast’s waterways
