A night of discomfort to help others sleep safely - please support my sleepout
For one night in June, I’ll swap the comfort of my bed for a sleeping bag and a cold night outdoors as part of the 2026 Vinnies CEO Sleepout 2026. It’s a small discomfort for me, but for far too many Australians, uncertainty around where they will sleep isn’t a one-night experience, it’s a daily reality. I believe no one should have to worry about having a safe, warm place to sleep at night.
This is my fourth year sleeping out and I’m proud to support the incredible work of St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland, which helped more than 18,000 Sunshine Coast locals in the past financial year alone.
Every dollar raised helps provide practical support to people doing it tough, from emergency accommodation and meals to long-term assistance and hope for a better future.
If you’re able to, I’d love your support to help make a real difference for people in our community.
