Women Building Change - Proud Participants in the 2025 Vinnies CEO Sleepout!
Women Building Change - Proud Participants in the 2025 Vinnies CEO Sleepout!
We're proud to stand as a collective of inspiring
women in the building, construction and property industry as part of Women Building
Change "Wall of Pledges", supporting the 2025 Vinnies CEO Sleepout.
This campaign isn’t just about fundraising - it’s
about women in our industry leading the way when it comes to creating real
impact for those doing it toughest. Together, we’re showing what it truly means
to build shelter, safety and security for people experiencing
homelessness.
Led by a team of passionate changemakers, Women
Building Change invites sponsors, suppliers, builders and businesses to pledge
products, services or funds - all of which will be recorded on the windows at Solace
Creations Fyshwick, creating a growing "Wall of Pledges" that
symbolises hope, generosity and community.
Pledged items will be auctioned through ALLBIDS,
with 100% of proceeds going to Vinnies Canberra Region to support
housing and homelessness services. These funds will be pooled and shared across
all participating CEO Sleepout women within our campaign.
How You Can
Support:
- Donate directly to this page
- Make a pledge via your
business (drop-off product or voucher donation to Solace Creations for auction)
- Share the campaign across
your network and socials
- Help us grow the "Wall of
Pledges"
- Or join us in the CEO
Sleepout!
We may come from different sectors of the building industry, but together we’re united by a simple truth: we build more than homes - we build hope!
