bringing the power of the arts to sustainability
SongBird was a not-for-profit project. Support from foundations, corporations, government and non-governmental organisations, from local businesses, individuals and communities, made our work possible.
A heartfelt thank-you to all who took the leap of faith to get on board with something entirely new, who supported our work and worked side by side with us on some truly inspiring events and initiatives. - Beth Carruthers
