Vinnies CEO Sleepout 2020

One of the longest and coldest nights of the year is nearly here which means the Vinnies CEO Sleepout is not far away! The event has transformed into an interactive online event and through on-screen discussions, videos and live crosses to Vinnies services and participating CEOs, you will learn about homelessness in Australia.

Event Details

Date

Thursday 18 June 2020

Location

We recommend joining us from your own car, couch or backyard.

Time

7:30pm – 9:30pm AEST

We strongly recommend against participating in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout from a public place - this is to protect your safety and to respect the dignity and privacy of people who are genuinely sleeping rough.

Please ensure you review our 10 point Guide to a Safer Sleepout prior to bedding down for the night.

We suggest you and your sleeping arrangements are set up and ready to go at 7pm! The broadcast will include a short break for dinner and will finally wrap up around 9.30pm AEST. Then it's time to settle in for your night in the car/in the backyard/on the couch.

Live Broadcast

You will learn about the work Vinnies does and the important role that business and community can play in reducing homelessness. You will also hear first-hand from people who have experienced homelessness.

Tune In

What to bring

We recommend wearing warm, comfortable, casual clothes. Bring a sleeping bag and perhaps a single pillow if you would like one, but avoid any creature comforts.

We encourage you to bring your phone, tablet and/or camera so you can document your sleepout experience, view the live stream and share it on social media. Don’t forget your dinner too! More details can be found on our FAQs page.
