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

Well done Richard on the ongoing commitment to this worthwhile funding raising event. I hope my small contribution will give someone a secure bed for the night. I am deeply saddened by the stats of more than 100k+ homeless people in this country.

Great to see you take part in this again Richard. It's not for the feint of heart. Domestic violence and financial abuse often go hand-in-hand making the decision to leave so much harder. Hope you raise a bucket load of cash!

Every time I come into the Allianz office, I see people who are homeless sleeping in Wynyard tunnel or who are asking for help. I have made friends with one of these people and we chat on my office days. It is so important to look to help the growing numbers of people who experience homelessness and remember how fortunate we are to have employment and homes. Thank you Richard for your continuing efforts to support our homeless and to live the experience for one night.
