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
50
Individual support programs
132
Beds
530

Well done Pip, you have smashed your target. My tips - find the softness spot of concrete and stay away from males over a certain age (they snore!). Keep warm and don’t expect to sleep.

The secret to a good nights sleep will be creating a cardboard pyramid structure to keep the frost off and using a good duck down sleeping bag - well down and best wishes for a great night ☺️
