This June, I’m participating in my fifth Vinnies CEO Sleepout. For one evening, I’ll get a glimpse of the reality that 122, 000 people in Australia experience every day – a long, cold night without shelter. Funds raised help Vinnies provide safe accommodation, essential household items and long-term support to people in crisis.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sadly, homelessness is on the rise in Australia. The cost-of-living crisis is putting pressure on families like never before. With your support, I hope to raise as much as possible for Vinnies’ support services.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Help lead the way out of homelessness. Please donate today and together we can transform more lives.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n
    The Vinnies CEO Sleepout is Vinnies major fundraising event. It directly funds life-changing services and programs that can transform lives and help break the cycle of homelessness.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    More than 1500 business, government and community leaders sleep out on one of the longest and coldest nights of the year. Together, they gain a small glimpse into the daily reality for tens of thousands of Australians.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    On the night, participants will learn what factors contribute to losing one\u2019s home. They\u2019ll hear from frontline voices\u2014 those with lived experience or expertise in the realities of homelessness. ABOUT HOMELESSNESS IN AUSTRALIA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Every year, more than 122,000 people in Australia are without a home. From them, around 8,200 people \u2018sleep rough\u2019 outdoors or in improvised dwellings.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Most people experiencing homelessness rely on their cars, caravan parks, or temporary, unstable housing for shelter.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Homelessness can affect people of all ages and backgrounds and is growing across every demographic.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    There is no single cause of homelessness. A shortage of affordable rental housing, domestic and family violence, unemployment, mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse are just some of the many factors that contribute to homelessness in Australia.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    One in four Australians are struggling to make ends meet on their current income.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
