About This Project

No, not this....

Ah the Melbourne Cup; the race that stops the nation right? Sadly it can also be the race where you lose your cash and get trashed at trackside.

self-destruction at the Melbourne Cup

Big Feed Style

We would like to host a Big Melbourne Cup Feed for our friends at Youth Off the Streets (minus all that personal destruction). A glamorous soiree, designed by young people, to celebrate the day with their family, their community, their supporters
and you.

Melbourne Cup Big Feed Style

Help us put some Facinator Fashion on the (Macquarie) Fields alongside some Amazing Outdoor Art, Music, Tasty BBQ, Decorated Cupcakes and Stylish Mocktails. We might even spend some time getting diggity in the kitchen garden and racing each other on our
own legs. The details of the day will be directed by the young people at YOTS but whatever way we celebrate, the aim is to share some wisdom and have fun.

Can We Do It?

With your help, yes we can! The Big Feed has worked alongside Youth Off the Streets since 2009. We host events, deliver food related activities, develop digital resources like our

iPhone App (which we use as a training tool and will gift to you and the young people participating on the day). There are some great pictures of the fun we have on our

website &
Facebook page so take a peek.

Why we need your help.

The Big Feed exists as a startup social enterprise with a crackling plan. We are part of a charity run by volunteers and sadly our innovations have not yet been noticed by those in charge of government grants. But never fear, we survive thanks to philanthropic
donations, corporate benevolence and generous people who share our ethos and understand the importance of what we do (and who like rewards!!!!)
