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 ABC Radio Perth presenters Mark Gibson and Nadia Mitsopoulos are 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, they will 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 our target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
Thank you! Your support means a lot.

Well done, Mark. Love listening to your show each weekday. I cook meals each week for the homeless (and drop them off to the Salvation Army) and knit beanies, scarves and mittens (with help from my students who knit scarves) so I have some understanding of the vast numbers of people in Perth who need our help.

Hats off to you, Marky-Mark. I was listening live when you were in two minds and then so was Dustin. Creating the brave triumvirate by “rop[ing] Mitso in too” as per my text, I am happy to help the Vinnies cause.
