One night isn't a lot, but with your help, it will help make a huge difference in the lives of people who need it most.
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.
Like many others, I’m supporting a great cause — raising vital funds for people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage. I’ll also be joining a lot of industry peers on the night, which in itself is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together.
But the real reason I’m doing this is more personal.
It’s a chance to step outside the rhythm of everyday life and take stock. In a world that doesn’t slow down, it’s easy to become absorbed in our own schedules, pressures, and priorities. With that pace often comes a loss of awareness of what - and who - is around us.
The CEO Sleepout is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and spare a thought for the people we might walk past on the street without really seeing. For one night, it’s about discomfort with purpose, and using our position to create awareness, empathy, and change.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 or more (or less) can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
Appreciate your support!
Paul
