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.

So far this year I helped provide

A recent report from UNSW and Homelessness Australia says that homelessness has increased 22% over the past three years i.e. 10,000 people per month. Sobering...and a timely reminder for us to be kind and empathic. Good luck Chris.

Great to see you supporting this cause, Chris. I see the impacts of homelessness most days on the walk from Southern Cross Station to our office, so I am hopeful initiatives like this can continue to raise awareness and generate funds to support people in need.
