Good health in the spotlight

The spirit of febfast has always been to give a little up, to give a lot back to the community.

Surprise yourself, and sign up for a month without alcohol, sugar, or another vice of your choosing.

Febfast is the perfect excuse to kick-start the year with a little good health and good will. Across Australia, we’re seeing thousands of people give up alcohol, sugar, or a vice of their choice in February to raise funds for young people experiencing serious disadvantage.

Funds raised give young people access the resources and support they require to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
Benefits like better sleep, saving money, and getting fit speak for themselves.

Two-thirds of participants have signed up for a month-long fast from alcohol to reset after the festive season and to dial-up their New Year’s resolutions.  

Febfast is run by the Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS) and as our only fundraiser for the year, it raises critical funds to assist severely disadvantaged young Australians recover from serious drug, alcohol, and mental health problems, which have only been exacerbated by the pandemic.

This year, I hope you’ll join our community of febfaster’s who are getting their health back on track by taking a pause for a cause.

It’s not too late to register: you can sign up at www.febfast.org.au
