One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

As our economy declines there are more who need help. Our Treasurer now admits his budget is unsustainable. Who is to blame?

Id say hope it doesn't get to cold but that would defeat the purpose of the experience. So instead I hope it replicates what its like to sleep rough on a cold winters night.

Hope it wasn’t too cold Ben- think it’s great that you do this. It is distressing just how many people are homeless now and need the support of Vinnies just to get by- keep doing your bit to give back- nice to see when ppl who don’t have to do. Always such a caring person- xoxo
