Established in 2022 by McGrath Real Estate: “We meet so many people moving to the area because of the beauty of our region and the friendly nature of our communities and feel the natural pull to help maintain these. By supporting projects to help increase our river health and support disadvantaged community members to get a hand-up not a hand-out, we will in turn support the Northern Rivers to thrive.”
