Eight north coast groups have received over $30,000 in funds from the Splendour in the Grass festival producers.
In Byron Shire, funds went to Mullumbimby & District Neighbourhood Centre $8,000; Mullumbimby Showground Trust $4,750; Brunswick Valley Meals on Wheels Service $3,500; Brunswick Nippers Junior Surf Life Saving Club $2,000; Byron Youth Theatre $1,000; and Ocean Shores Primary School $5,000.
Each year Splendour provides cash donations to worthy local community groups, totalling over $450,000 in grants throughout the Byron Shire since 2000.
Some of the previous recipients have included Shara Community Gardens, Byron Community Centre, Billinudgel Pets For life Animal Shelter, Brunswick Valley Landcare, Brunswick Valley Rescue and Mullumbimby High School.
What about the wildlife like the Koala population that was wiped out? It’s next to a nature reserve disturbing a lot of wildlife and locals.
Ah but Hope, nobody ever thinks of the koalas or other wildlife displaced by extremely loud, stress-inducing ‘music’ – they only think of money. Giving away money makes them look good and appeases their guilt. Splendour should never have been approved …..
yes I would imagine that from the profits made, that would be a small offering, but kind anyway..yep the environment and the wildlife..and many of the business in the Shire dont seem to be benefiting from Splendor..
