Gold Coast 2025

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 my 10th Gold Coast  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.

I ask for your help in raising the much needed funds to help those experiencing homelessness on the Gold Coast, especially the hidden homeless, families, men and women, some sleeping in cars, couch surfing or staying in tents. 

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.
