Sleeping Out to Help Young People Without a Safe Bed
More than 46,000 young people across Australia don’t have a safe or stable place to sleep each night, and in NSW nearly half of all people receiving homelessness support are under the age of 24.
To help raise awareness and funds to support them, I’ll be taking part in SleepOut for homeless youth, spending a night outdoors at Centennial Parklands and giving up the comfort and security of home for one night. With your support, we can help provide young people in NSW with access to safe accommodation, support services, and the stability everyone deserves. Many of us take these for granted, but a safe bed and a safe place to call home is not the reality for many young members of our community.
