2010 FebFast Beneficiaries
Proceeds from our 2010 registration and fundraising efforts will be shared amongst the Australian Drug Foundation (operating nationally), Mater Health Services – Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal Service (Qld), The Ted Noffs Foundation in NSW and the ACT, YSAS (the Youth Substance Abuse Service in Victoria) and FebFast’s national grants program for smaller grass-roots organisations. The grants program will be announced on this website later this year.
AUSTRALIAN DRUG FOUNDATION
The Australian Drug Foundation, a non-government, not-for-profit organisation, provides services and programs aimed at preventing alcohol and other drug problems and reducing alcohol and other drug harms.

MATER ADAWS
Mater Health Services - Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal Service (ADAWS) provides an eleven day residential withdrawal service for young people between the ages 13 – 18. It is the only service of its kind in Queensland and is one of the programs operated by the Mater Child and Youth Mental Service.
Funding from FebFast’s 2010 campaign will contribute to ADAWS’ Artspace program which is provided for young people after they have completed their stay with ADAWS. Artspace is an arts and recreational program that sees about 90 young people each year.
ADAWS understands that when a young person has completed their detox, there can be some big gaps in their days, especially if drugs have played a big part in their life before. This is often a time when it can be tempting to start using again.
Artspace provides:
- a way for a young person to fill in their day
- an alternative to using drugs
- a chance to learn some new skills
- a way to stay connected to ADAWS
- a way of meeting and spending time with other young people who’ve been through the program.
- heaps of fun!

TED NOFFS FOUNDATION
The Ted Noffs Foundation provides essential services for young people and their families who are experiencing drug and alcohol problems and related trauma.
Funding from this year’s FebFast campaign will contribute to the organisation’s Street University.
The Street University is an unprecedented project that finds its home in a converted warehouse in Sydney's Southwest.
Instead of a traditional drop-in centre, the Street University houses a multitude of programs designed by everyday people who are willing to engage with marginalised young people in the area.
People from all walks of life have asked to dedicate their time and unique skills toward either creating short courses or volunteering their energies in another capacity.
The Street University and its family of volunteers provide a new way of thinking and learning to those who would otherwise be turned away.
It is a place of discovery, determination and opportunity.

YSAS
YSAS (the Youth Substance Abuse Service) aims to improve the health and well-being of young people affected by alcohol and other drugs.
YSAS provides practical assistance, compassionate support and confidential services to people in need and specializes in working with people who have multiple needs or high levels of disadvantage in the capacities of youth outreach, day program, withdrawal, residential rehabilitation and supported accommodation services across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
