Members
At Respiratory Support Nelson, membership is at the heart of what we do. As a non-profit incorporated society, we exist to support our members and the wider community in managing respiratory health. By attending our Better Breather Classes, Sing Your Lungs Out (SYLO) sessions, or any of our services, you automatically become a valued member of our organisation. This means you are part of a supportive community dedicated to improving lung health and well-being across Nelson and Tasman.
Why Membership Matters As a member, you will have access to:
✅Expert-led respiratory support services
✅A welcoming community through group sessions
✅Resources and information to help you breathe better
✅The national quarterly newsletter with updates, tips, and events
Supporting Our Work
To help cover administration costs—such as distributing newsletters and running our community programmes— we invite members to make a $15 annual contribution to Respiratory Support Nelson. This small contribution helps sustain our vital work. Any additional donations are gratefully received.
Whether or not you contribute, you are always welcome to use our services. We are here to support you!
As a valued member, you are part of an organisation guided by our constitution, which is currently under review to align with the Incorporated Societies Act 2022. Our draft constitution is now in its final form, and we welcome any feedback you may have. Please feel free to contact us at respiratorynelson@xtra.co.nz. The updated constitution will be presented for approval at our next AGM in June 2025.
