There are 116,000 people who experience homelessness every night across Australia – 42% are female and 58% are male. On any given day across Australia, specialist homelessness services were supporting nearly 57,000 people. Over 9,900 were young people presenting alone. On Friday 12th August, I will be joining other students for a Winter Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul and to experience what it’s like to sleep rough for one night. We will be sleeping outdoors in various areas of our campus and we’ll also be learning about homelessness via guest presenters and a video documentary. Our dinner will be provided by Doorways Patrol. Please sponsor me for this event. Alfie
