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:

Aftermath of Cyclone Alfred

March & April 2025 — All profits from the sale of our reusable shop bags will go towards supporting communities impacted by Cyclone Alfred.

As this crisis continues to unfold, we’re working closely with local organisations to direct funds where they’re needed most. Recovery is a long road, and we’re committed to standing alongside those affected every step of the way.

To everyone affected — our incredible staff, loyal customers, friends, and families — our hearts are with you.

Stay safe out there.

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.
