Fairbridge College

We are swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?

That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.

This March, staff and students at Fairbridge college are swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need. We have set ourselves a target to swim 4000 laps / 100km.

By sponsoring our challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.

All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
