DONATE TO THE SECRET SOUNDS FLOOD AID HERE.

At the beginning of March, the Northern Rivers of NSW and Southeast QLD were devastated by a natural disaster of unimaginable magnitude and severity.

Secret Sounds is announcing a range of fundraising initiatives to assist with recovery across the region, with a target of raising $1 million in one month and a commitment that 100% of money raised will go directly to flood affected communities.

Secret Sounds Flood Aid fundraising initiatives include:

  • Online auction via Air Auctioneer running 8am Thursday 17th March – 8am Friday 22nd April 2022 (Sydney time)

  • Fundraiser gigs featuring Flume, Bernard Fanning, Wolfmother, Dune Rats and heaps more

  • ‘Where The Muddy Hell Are You’ limited edition merchandise

All money raised through Secret Sounds Flood Aid campaign will be distributed between four key organisations to provide direct assistance where it is needed. Every cent of every dollar raised will go directly to the community. All recipient organisations have made this commitment.

LIFELINE will provide tailored face to face and digital psychological first aid for affected communities including counselling, information resources for individuals, crisis helplines and Lifeline text. These services are being specifically created for these communities and for this situation.

GIVIT is a national donation platform managing donations of items, services and funds for people impacted by floods across parts of Queensland and New South Wales. GIVIT works directly with councils, outreach teams, charities and community groups in impacted areas to identify exactly what’s needed to make sure people get what they need, when they need it.

The local newspaper of the Bundjalung region, KOORI MAIL is wholly owned by five Bundjalung Aboriginal community organisations. These regions have been severely flood impacted and fundraising will directly support these communities.

The NORTHERN RIVERS FLOOD RELIEF FUND, is a grassroots community-led fund,
collaborating between the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) and Byron Community Centre, the fund was established to provide rapid and informed support for recovery and action at a community level. 100% of all donations received will be directly allocated to not-for-profit community organisations working in flood recovery across the wider Northern Rivers region.

Auction ends 8am (Sydney time), Friday 22nd April 2022 (excluding the Secret Sounds Festival Super Pass).
