Help us, change lives.
Every Australian deserves a safe, comfortable place to sleep. Every Australian deserves a home.
Every night, 122,000 Australians experience homelessness – including nearly 54,000 women and 17,000 children under 12.
Canberra Women in Business (CWB) is proud to stand with a growing movement of women leaders taking action through the Vinnies CEO Sleepout.
We are a community of purpose-led professionals who believe in the power of business to drive meaningful change. Our mission is to promote, advocate for, and grow women in business, including stepping up for those who need us most.
CWB Committee Members are sleeping out to raise awareness and funds for people facing homelessness across Canberra and our region.
This is about women supporting women, communities backing communities, and using our collective voice to ensure no one is left in the cold.
But we can’t do it alone.
CWB needs your support. Every dollar helps the St Vincent de Paul Society deliver beds, meals, emergency shelter, and vital programs to Australians in need.
Together, we can break the cycle of homelessness.
So far this year we helped provide
37
Individual support programs
98
Beds
395
Meals
