Charity partners
The Queensland Youth Choir is proud to be able to provide its support to a selected number of charities. Performing at events hosted by these organisations reinforces the partnership that exists between the Queensland Youth Choir and the community we serve, as well as instilling a sense of community and an appreciation of our environment amongst our members and their parents.
Save the Bilby Fund
The Queensland Youth Choir is the official ambassador for the Save the Bilby Fund.
The Save the Bilby Fund was set up by conservationists Frank Manthey and Peter McRae to raise money to help put a stop to the steady decline of this delightful marsupial.
Bilbies were common in many different habitats throughout Australia until European settlement. Hunting by dingoes, foxes and feral cats has meant that bilby populations now occur only in the isolated arid and semi-arid areas of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.
The Save the Bilby Fund supports the three main aims of the National Recovery Plan for bilbies:
- to support research into the biology and ecology of the species to identify the reasons for population and distribution decline
- to direct management efforts towards addressing threatening processes
- to re-establish populations, based on the biological knowledge gained through the research.
