Sleep Out and Fight Homelessness

Thursday, 18 June 2026

As a respected leader within the business community, we’re looking forward to you joining us at the 2026 Vinnies CEO Sleepout on Thursday, 18 June 2026, to raise all-important funds to help Vinnies fight homelessness. By sacrificing just one night of comfort you will enable the vital work of our specialist services to continue supporting thousands of people in times of need. The Sleepout is our largest annual fundraiser and reaffirms Vinnies commitment to address the homelessness crisis impacting 35,000 people in NSW alone – the most of any Australian state or territory. Registrations for 2026 are open for you to sign up or nominate a CEO who will rise to the challenge, raise vital funds, and give those experiencing disadvantage a Vinnies hand up.

Richard

In 2025 I took part in my second Vinnies CEO Sleepout. On the longest night of the year - and one of the coldest - I joined over 1,500 business leaders across the country to raise awareness and funds for the 122,000 Australians who do not have the choice to go home.
