Sleeping outdoors again – The St Vinnies CEO Sleepout

FS Solutions Director Stephen McKenzie-McHarg has again committed to a chilly night out to help raise awareness and funds to address homelessness. Over 105,000 Australians sleep out every night and the without specialist homeless and housing services, the needs of people experiencing disadvantage are far from being met.

From the St Vincent de Paul Society website: “The aim of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout is not only to raise funds, but raise awareness of homelessness. Our goal is not just to service the homeless, but to bring about an end to homelessness. The discomfort of sleeping on the streets is a fragment of the larger reality we hope to impart upon influential leaders of the community. With their help, and yours, we can fight the issue of homelessness together”
