One night outside, but every day this matters

Every day at Tradewind, we work alongside organisations supporting people facing vulnerability, disadvantage, and at times, homelessness. We see firsthand how critical safe, stable housing is to a person’s wellbeing, safety, and future.

In my first year as Managing Director, I wanted to personally step forward and support a cause so closely connected to the communities we work with. That is why I am taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout and have committed to raising $5,000 for the St Vincent de Paul Society.

For one night, I will sleep outside to help raise awareness and funds for Australians doing it tough. But the real impact comes from what we can raise together.

If you are able to give, I would genuinely appreciate your support. Every donation, big or small, will help provide people with the stability, safety, and dignity they deserve.
