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

Food, shelter, power and water - some basic things a lot of us take for granted, but many don’t have. Thanks for supporting those that need it and raising awareness of an important cause.

Great initiative, Darren. Many of us are fortunate to have a safe place to call home and the support of family and friends, but not everyone has that. There are people around us facing incredibly difficult circumstances without shelter, stability, or support. This is something I care deeply about, and it’s hard to imagine going through life without the basic comforts and security most of us take for granted. Have a great night
