We’re excited to announce that Meat Free Week is back for its sixth year, challenging participants to give up meat for seven days and raise funds for a great cause.


Participants can help save lives by raising funds in support of Bowel Cancer Australia’s vital bowel cancer prevention programs, joining in the charity’s vision to have an everlasting impact on our health future - one where no Australian dies from bowel cancer.

There is convincing evidence that a high consumption of red meat and processed meat increases bowel cancer risk.

Going meat free for one week creates a fantastic opportunity to get people thinking about how much meat they eat and the impact that consuming too much meat may have.
