An event at Linnaeus Estate, Broken Head, on the afternoon of Sunday August 13 will raise funds for The Buttery’s free family counselling program.

The event features entertainers, catering by Harvest Cafe, fine wines and an opportunity to bid for auction items, including artworks by leading local artists. 

Since its inception in 2010, The Buttery’s family counselling program has helped almost 1,000 families who face the challenge of supporting a family member who is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.

The program is supported fully by donations from individuals and foundations, including the Northern Rivers Community Foundation.
