Rob Fairs Foundation

We are dedicated to improving the lives of young and disadvantaged Tasmanians.

The Rob Fairs Foundation’s vision statement reads as “A Tasmania where communities come together to give every young person the opportunity to be the best version of themselves” . We believe that the most effective and sustainable way to address the many challenges facing disadvantaged youth in Tasmania is to bring our community on the journey. Through the Foundation’s business partner network, t

he Fair Go Friends, and our fundraising efforts, we aim to provide and/or support a variety of opportunities, products and services that will align to the needs of individuals, organisations and groups that are in need of assistance. We aim to educate and reinforce the philosophy that as a community we can make a genuine difference in the life of Tasmania's youth, and with the support and guidance of our Advisory Panel members and our community partners we know that we can drive change.

“We do not develop anything with one giant step. No matter who you are, or what you do, each one of us had to take a lot of individual steps to accomplish a task, a job, a career, or even a hobby.” - Catherine Pulsifer

Our Fair Go Friends Network allows us to connect clients with employers, programs and services. We have also worked with local organisations to establish programs suited to the needs of our clients.

Have you heard of Miss B's Student Services?

This is one of the organisations we provide financial support to. They’re doing amazing work helping students to feel confident and engaged in their learning. Support is offered across vocal, drama, art, piano, and academic lessons.

The Foundation provides funding for scholarships to allow disadvantaged youth access to this incredible program.

Today we’d just like to say well done to the team for everything they do. We are proud to support such a great organisation and love hearing all of the wonderful and positive feedback from the young participants we have helped access your services 👏

Let’s talk about the theme of this year’s Feast on Tasmania 2026: Stars of tomorrow we’re hosting in partnership with Country Club Tasmania and Craigie Knowe Vineyard.

Our dress theme this year is 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸: black, gold and celestial

Our 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 theme holds a simple message that anyone can be a star of tomorrow no matter where or what they come from. Just as stars shine light in darkness, stars shine hope through all of life's challenges.

This plays into the Foundation’s goal to give young, disadvantaged Tasmanians the opportunity to realise their dreams and be the best version of themselves.

After all, Fairsy’s motto is: 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢. 𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚. 𝘼𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚.

Have you got your tickets yet?

Following on from introductions, here’s three things you should know about us - our OGs will know these already.

1️⃣ we are 100% Tasmanian
This means we are a Tassie based charity, helping Tassie’s disadvantaged youth. We don’t branch out anywhere else, we’re Tasmanians here for Tasmanians.

2️⃣ volunteer-led organisation
Did you know we don’t have any employees? When it comes to the work we do with and for Tassie’s disadvantaged youth, it is carried out by volunteers or partners via Fair Go Friends.
Our dedicated and passionate Board members volunteer their time, and we have a small but committed team of volunteers that organise and coordinate various activities and events within the organisation.
We are incredibly grateful to this fantastic crew who make it happen. ‘It’ being transforming the lives of Tassie’s disadvantaged youth.

3️⃣ community-led change
This one lends itself to our vision of a Tasmania where communities come together to give every person the opportunity to be the best version of themselves. It is the reason our Fair Go Friends Network exists, and how the Foundation operates. We have a strong network of partners and businesses that support our work and clients where possible.

You can find out more at our website including how you can support the Foundation or your business can join our Fair Go Friends Network.

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

We thought it was time for another introduction for our new followers to meet the faces behind Rob Fairs Foundation, and say hello again to our regulars.

Our Board is small but dedicated with a passion for driving positive and sustainable changes within Tasmania’s youth sector, and supporting young, disadvantaged Tasmanians.
Each one of them volunteer their time to our organisation and the work we do, striving for a Tasmania where communities come together to give every young person the opportunity to be the best version of themselves.

Say hello to Fairsy, Ian, Leanne, Jason and Jason 👋
