Choose your own fundraiser in support of homeless youth

Having a place to call home is a basic human right,
but tens of thousands of young Aussies will go without a bed tonight.

It’s Free!

Participation is free and it's a fantastic opportunity to build team engagement through inspiring and fun activities either on-site or in the office.  

It’s Your Event!

With Hard Hat, it's your call how you raise funds. On-site, in the office, or online, get ready to show off your organisation’s individual style and flair. From bake-offs for beds, to raffles for rebuilding lives – your activities can take place on a single day, week, month, or even an entire year. 

Uniting Our Community!

The campaign runs throughout August, leading up to Hard Hat Day on Friday 30 August 2024, where we come together as the property and construction industry to raise funds for homeless youth.
