VOICE of BYRON regular, Nicqui Yazdi, shared this important plea for help in Byron Bay Community News’ Facebook page.
Headed “Do You Manage or Own Accommodation in Byron Bay?” the post calls for accommodation in the Bay for the duration of Schoolies 2017.
The post says, “THE RED FROGS NEED HELP!!
“This amazing group of around 150 volunteers come from all across Australia to help us with the Byron Schoolies Safety Response each year, but this year they are in dire need of some more accommodation, particularly from Sat 18th – 25th November, when they still need 30 beds and again from 26th November through to Sat 2nd Dec (less beds are needed for this week).

“They do have a small budget, but definitely not an endless one, but they do make great tenants and are very respectful.
“The accom MUST be in Byron Bay, as they don’t have transport.
“If you can help please contact Chris at chris@redfrogs.com.

“The Red Frogs are all nominated by their local chaplains before they can even apply to become a Red Frog, they pay their own way to come here, usually taking their own holidays to serve the schoolies and assist where they can, they also pay towards their food and accommodation.
“They are the MOST giving group of people Byron is lucky enough to have come here and assist our community with the heavy-traffic time of Schoolies.
“Please, if you can help, or know of someone who may be able to, please share this information with them. http://au.redfrogs.com/schoolies”
