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
128
Individual support programs
337
Beds
1348
Meals
Funds raised over the years

Dear Mark Love your show. For someone who is relatively new to Perth, your show brings a lot of joy. Love Ross and the laughs. Working in Mental Health we see a lot of homeless people with mental illness. It’s a complex picture and we hope the policy makers are listening. Thank you for this wonderful effort to raise money and awareness
