Southern Beaches Community Garden
With the support of our Community Benefit Fund, Southern Beaches Community Garden expanded and replenished its industrial-sized worm farm which, at full capacity, can process up to 40 litres of green waste a day. The nutrient-rich soil keeps 120 garden plots thriving, and with 200 dedicated volunteers, the garden is a great place for people to connect and learn about sustainability.
New Beginnings – Youth Marine Conservation Project
We’re proud that with help from our Community Benefit Fund, New Beginnings launched the Youth Marine Conservation Program, giving students hands-on experience in marine conservation. From beach cleanups to research projects, this program is inspiring the next generation of environmental champions, with many going on to further study or careers in the field.
