As part of its yearly grants to community organisations, the Falls Music & Arts Festival have donated $2,500 to the Brunswick Heads ‘Nippers’ Junior Surf Life Saving Club for brand new surfboards.

Co-organisers say $1 from each ticket sold goes into a community fund which is then distributed throughout the community.

Other beneficiaries this year include the Crabbes Creek Community Hall, Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre, the Ocean Shores Community Centre and the NYE Soul Street event.
