Connecting Through Music
Led by long-time Nerang RSL member Paul Grech, Breakaway Music Society is a volunteer-based group using music to support wellbeing, education and social connection – particularly among seniors and those in aged care.
This year, Nerang RSL is proud to continue support of their work with funding to help cover public liability insurance, venue hire at Country Paradise Parklands, replace amplifiers damaged during Cyclone Alfred and contribute to their music education program.
Their performances light up nursing homes and community spaces – reminding us all of the power of music to uplift and unite.

🔧 Bringing the Sizzle to Community Events
For over a decade, the Lions Club of Carrara has been lending a helping hand wherever it’s needed most — from supporting literacy in schools and providing Christmas cakes for the elderly to cooking BBQ lunches for local kids and donating care packs to women undergoing cancer treatment.
They’ve also played a quiet but powerful role in commemorations like the Bali Bombing Memorial, cooking up connection and community spirit year after year.
But when their only tow bar-equipped vehicle was taken off the road, their BBQ trailer — and the good work it enabled — came to a halt. That’s where Nerang RSL stepped in. This year’s funding helps the Club purchase a new tow bar so they can keep showing up for those who need it.
