Fast Times is Australia's premier skateboard retailer, with multiple stores across the country.
In 2021, we launched our Reusable Bag Program—a step away from the old free plastic bag with purchase, and a move toward a more sustainable, reusable option.
Beyond the environmental benefits, we were especially excited to introduce a dedicated charity program. This initiative gives us the chance to partner with incredible organisations, support our communities in times of crisis, and champion causes close to our hearts.
With every purchase of a Fast Times Reusable Bag, our customers are giving back in meaningful ways. Your support is helping us create real impact. Scroll down to see our current charity partner, and check out some of the amazing groups we've worked with so far.
CURRENT CHARITY PARTNER:
Dolly's Dream
Dolly's Dream was created by Kate and Tick Everett following the shattering loss of their 14-year-old daughter, Dolly, to suicide, after ongoing bullying and cyberbullying. Their goal is to create a safer and kinder world for every child so no family has to go through the pain they went through.
They seek to do this through a range of support services including a 24/7 Support Line, School Workshops, Parent Hub, Youth Mental Health First Aid Training, a Cyber Safety App, and more. It's with our support that we can continue to raise awareness of their cause and provide essential funding to keep these programs and services going.
Additionally, on May 9th, we will be supporting Do It For Dolly Day, an annual day to amplify support for Dolly's Dream's programs and services. We encourage everyone to wear something blue (Dolly's favourite colour) and use it as an opportunity to create conversation about how we can make our world a kinder and safer place.
Thank you for supporting this important cause.

STORIES:
Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa) Skatepark
Following on from our donation to the team at Spinifex Skateboards, in 2023 we partnered with Spinifex again this time raising $20,000 to help contribute to the Ltyentye Apurte Skatepark in Ltyentye Apurte Community/Santa Teresa, 80kms southeast of Mparntwe/Alice Springs on Eastern Arrernte Country. These funds will contribute to further development of the park in the near future which will include rubber matting, landscaping and shade!
We were stoked to send a few of our team up for the grand opening of this skatepark, check out the clip here:
Congratulations to Nicky 'Skateboard' Hayes and Spinifex Skateboards as well as all involved in making this project come to life: Grind Projects, East By West Co, Central Land Council and AAAC.
Thank you for extending a warm welcome to our team at the opening event!
For our first round of donations, we worked with our good friends @spinifexskateboards. All profits from bag sales between September 21st and December 31st 2021 went directly towards Spinifex's ongoing initiatives of supporting the young people of the remote Northern Territory Community of Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa).
We were stoked to be able to raise a total of $15,000 to enable Nicky Hayes and the Spinifex team to continue providing youth in Ltyentye Apurte with free skate lessons, skate park improvements and skate trips.
