Byron Bay’s homelessness and disadvantaged support service, Fletcher Street Cottage, is set to be boosted by funds, after the recent Festival of the Stone, held by Stone & Wood, raised $20,000 for the charity.
Organisers say over 1,800 locals attended on Saturday June 4, with all profits made from ticket and bar sales, as well as a series of raffles, going ‘directly to the not-for-profit who offer meals, showers, laundry, advocacy, and support to those in need’.
Sally Gilbert from Stone & Wood said, ‘Holding it in support of such an important issue for our region, just adds that extra layer of meaning’.
