On behalf of everyone at SUCCEED we hope you have a joyful Feeding Tube Awareness Week 2026.
SO MUCH work goes into making FTAW a success every year and we are especially thankful to everyone creating the events, education, awareness and companionship for the Tubie community.

SUCCEED organised the first ever Tube Feeding Picnic in Australia in Sydney in 2019 and except during lockdown we have had one big annual picnic every year since then. THIS YEAR we have partnered with two incredible Tubie parents. These amazing people wanted to bring the picnic closer to their own communities and SUCCEED has helped securing the venues, organising insurance and with logistics.

The FIRST picnic was on Sunday 1st February and the SECOND picnic is on Sunday 8th February from 10am – 2pm at Gymea Resource Centre. If you are local please click here for more information and come along!
