Ban it for Berry Street

Take on the challenge this August! Give up something you love so vulnerable children can have the support and care they need.
Life is especially challenging right now for children, young people and families experiencing violence and abuse. More children are being removed from their homes than ever before, and family violence is adding more trauma. But you can help children start to recover by taking on the Ban it for Berry Street challenge this August.
How it works
You can give up anything that suits you. This is your challenge, your way. You might want to ban chocolate, alcohol or sugar during August. Or you might need a break from social media scrolling or even late-night streaming. Choose any habit to kick for a month and ask your loved ones to support you in the challenge with a donation to Berry Street. And don’t stress – if you’ve got a special event or big celebration in August, you can buy a ‘cheat day’ to take a short break from the challenge.
Sign up by Wednesday 26 July 2023 to go in the draw for a $100 voucher from The Good Guys!
