Supporting Charities

Meadows Country Fair is not only supporting the local community organisations, but every year the committee also chooses a charity to support.

Our 2024 Charity is Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation. Breakthrough is a not-for-profit organisation, established in 2018, and is Australia’s first and only dedicated mental health research foundation. It aims to help create a life free from mental illness, by investing in vital mental health research that has an impact, and changes people’s lives.

Mental illness is going to be the biggest health challenge in our lifetime.

Right now, one in five Australians has a mental illness and nine people die from suicide every day. This is unacceptable. Breakthrough is Australia’s only foundation 100% focused on raising funds to invest in life-changing mental health research. Science holds the key to not only understanding what causes mental illness but to ultimately preventing it from happening in the first place. Together, with your support, we will fund the research breakthroughs that will help create a life free from mental illness.
