This August, Vinnies Community Sleepouts will take place across NSW to raise awareness of the realities of homelessness and funds for Vinnies homelessness services. Each night, over 116,000 Australians experience homelessness — 50% being women and 25% under 18 years old. By listening to eye-opening stories, participating in activities, and ‘sleeping rough’ for a night, Vinnies Sleepout participants can gain a unique insight into the complexities of homelessness.

On the night there will be: dinner, hot food/beverages ☕, games (including Kahoot!), guest speakers, a movie 🎥 and much more! Breakfast will also be provided the next morning. So please come join us for a memorable night on Friday 19 August at 5pm at The University of Sydney Quadrangle where Sydney Uni Young Vinnies will be hosting our very own Sleepout! 🤩💙

All funds raised will be donated to the Marian Centre which is a crisis accommodation and case management service for women with children who have experienced domestic/family violence and/or homelessness. To make a contribution and set up your own fundraising page, please click here:
