Participating in their 1st Vinnies CEO Sleepout
One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
What started from a conversation with Michael - who had participated in previous rounds of Sleepout and is unable to undertake this year, to taking some time to gain a better understanding on the risks and impact of homelessness. The facts are unfortunately confronting and unfortunate as the impact of inflation pressures has impacted our most vulnerable income groups in Australia:
- 34.9% seeking help from Specialist Homeless Services who needed accommodation did not having their housing needs met, a continued increase over the past 3 years; and
- The number of households on waiting list of social housing across the country has increased by 4%.
I am hoping to raise $15,000 as part of this fundraiser and seek your help and support (any amounts is appreciated) in achieving this outcome to support those in need on the coldest and longest night of the year. Thank you!
