ACT & Surrounds 2025

Support me to support Vinnies - One night can make a difference to the many Canberran's who are currently experiencing or are at risk of homelessness.

This year I'm taking part in the 2025 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. Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. 

To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need to ask for your support - Will you help me to reach my target? 

Donating $100 will make a real difference, and so does your advocacy. Please consider helping me to raise funds and to raise awareness.

People experiencing homelessness are some of the most vulnerable people in our community. Sleeping rough, in tents, cars or improvised dwellings can put people at greater risk of poor wellbeing. It's time for change.
