If you’ve already broken your New Year’s Resolution, Febfast is your chance for a do over.
February is Febfast month! You are encouraged to break a bad habit of your choice and raise money for disadvantaged young Australians.
What is Febfast?
It’s an initiative of the Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS). It has raised $8 million to help disadvantaged Australians aged 12 to 25.
How does Febfast work?
“Febfasters” choose to give up something they usually like to indulge in. Chocolate, sugar and alcohol are obvious and popular choices.

How much money has been raised?

- Mental health issues
