Rough Edges Sleepout

Saturday 22 June 2024

Rough Edges is a café-stye service in Darlinghurst, providing free meals to Sydney’s homeless and marginalised.  Shore has a long history of serving at Rough Edges, with boys working each Tuesday night to help serve food, engage with patrons, and volunteer their time.

On Saturday 22 June, students from Barry, Burrell, Emery, Hodges, Robson, Mathers and School House, along with the Prefects, are taking part in the Rough Edges Sleepout.

Boys involved will walk from Shore to Darlinghurst, stopping at several stations along the way to hear from Rough Edges clients and also supporting organisations. The students will then sleep outside overnight, supervised by Shore Staff.

Parents can support this initiative by:

Making a donation

Shore is aiming to raise enough money to support an additional staff member at Rough Edges. Please make a donation on behalf of your son’s House at: shore.roughedges.org.au

Or

Volunteering on the day

Parents from the Houses involved are invited to help between 5pm and 9pm by assisting student groups walking to Darlinghurst or being stationed along the way. You don’t need to sleep over.

Please register your interest, and Mr Blood, Head of Service Learning, will contact you with more details. trybooking.com/CSLGM
