Well, that’s it. Buckets have been shaken, fridges around the country have gone unopened and much-needed funds have been raised. The Concern Fast is over for another year.
The 24 hours of fasting is almost up for our Fasters. Well done to everyone and thanks for all your fundraising efforts.
The Fast is well and truly underway. People are fasting, shaking buckets and even making meals out of plasticine - all in a bid to raise as much money as they can for Concern Worldwide's lifesaving food programmes.
There’s only a week left until the Concern Fast. It’s time to step up your fundraising game to ensure you raise as much money as you can!
With less than three weeks to go until the Fast, it’s time to start fundraising! A great way to get more supporters is to promote your Fast on your Facebook profile page.

Last year, Cashel Community School’s fundraising efforts for the Fast really paid off! They scooped our top prize of a trip to Kenya for two students and two teachers.
The countdown to this year’s Fast has begun! And what better way to get geared up than to help us spread the word?

In 2002, Malawi was hit by a severe drought and child malnutrition rose to an all-time high. Thanks to our supporters, Concern was able to provide life-saving assistance to those in urgent need.
