Night of Compassion Team
We are a team of 12 people from diverse backgrounds, professions, and walks of life, united by one common purpose: to raise awareness and support for people in our community experiencing homelessness.
While not all of us are CEOs, we are all leaders in our own way! We are leaders who believe in serving others and creating positive change. Together, we are taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to stand in solidarity with those who face the harsh reality of homelessness every day.
Our team is guided by the values of compassion, empathy, gratitude, kindness, love, and hope. We recognise that homelessness can affect anyone, and we are committed to helping shine a light on the challenges faced by some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
By spending one night sleeping out, we hope to inspire conversations, raise vital funds, and encourage greater understanding of the issues surrounding homelessness. Every donation, no matter the size, helps provide practical support, emergency accommodation, food, and pathways to a brighter future.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can bring hope. Thank you for supporting the Night of Compassion Team and helping us create a more caring and compassionate community.
So far this year we helped provide
