40 Hour Famine

Give up something you think you can’t live without for 40 hours.
By giving up food, electricity or even furniture for 40 hours  you can raise funds for kids living in poverty overseas. And you can make a massive difference: $40 can feed a family of five for a month.

When: 8pm Friday, August 19 – 12pm Sunday, August 21.

Of course, if you can’t do it that weekend, you can choose another 40 hour period – just as long as you’ve done it, and collected all your funds, before 30 September 2011.

Where: Wherever you choose:

• School

• Work

• Home

Cost: FREE (Fundraising is a must)

Volunteer For Fringe Festival 2011

The Fringe Festival is an open access arts festival offering a platform for independent practitioners across all creative genres to present their work in an environment of artistic freedom.

The Sydney Fringe has carved its home in the Inner West as a project of the Newtown Entertainment Precinct, where there is the highest concentration of independent theatres and live performance spaces in Sydney – and the home of more working artists than any other community in Australia.

Beyond this central precinct, The Sydney Fringe Empire now extends to a number of far-flung city outposts, including Parramatta, Leichhardt and Oxford Street.

Volunteers will be able to assist with various activities including:

Opening night

The Fringe box office

Bar staff at The Fringe Club

The busking program

 Front of house at Show venues and Visual Arts venues

Guerilla Marketing

When: Volunteer now for events between September 9 – October 2
