febfast 2017
By February, most of our new year’s resolutions will have been set, attempted and forgotten. Rather than struggling through those self-improvements alone, why not join a community of thousands committed to taking a break from those hard to shake habits?
Febfast provides the perfect opportunity to set a goal and stick to it! Each year febfasters report saving money, losing weight, feeling mentally sharper, more productive and more physically active!
What’s even better? All the funds raised helps support disadvantage young people across the country by providing vital access to youth workers. From overcoming mental health issues and the impact of abuse and neglect, to finding housing and tackling drug and alcohol problems, these youth workers connect with young people to provide access to the resources and support they require to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
What is febfast?
Powered by Youth Support + Advocacy Service (YSAS), febfast is the great Australian pause from alcohol, sugar or something of your choice for the month of February in support of disadvantaged young people aged 12-25 across the country.
What’s involved in febfast?
You’ll give up alcohol, sugar or something of your choice, register to take on the challenge and raise vital funds to support disadvantaged young Australians. The money you raise funds youth workers who dedicate their time to connect young people in with the support, programs and services they require to overcome adversity and realise opportunity.
When you register, febfast will not only help you stay on track throughout February, but also give you a hand to raise as much as possible from friends, family and colleagues for our partner charities.
Since 2007, febfasters have enjoyed:
- thousands of sugar and alcohol-free days
- saving money
- losing weight
- improving energy levels
- sleeping better; and
- feeling much, much happier!
In this time, they’ve also supported thousands of young people across Australia faced with serious disadvantage. From overcoming mental health issues and the impact of abuse and neglect, to finding safe housing and tackling drug and alcohol problems, febfast dollars have changed the lives of our youth.
