St Vinnies Sleepout - 30th - 31st August 2018



Can you help us to make an impact for those in need?
This August, Vinnies Western Sydney will bring together business and community representatives to help those experiencing disadvantage.

We invite you to join us in our Vinnies Western Sydney Community Sleepouton Thursday 30th of August to raise vital funds to help prevent homelessness in Western Sydney.

Thursday 30th August -
Friday 31st August 2018
Western Sydney University
Parramatta South Campus
Funds raised through this event will continue the growth of St Vincent de Paul's programs and services providing emergency relief, financial assistance and services addressing social isolation, as well as programs to assist those experiencing disadvantage through support, advocacy and referral.

We invite you to join us for this very special event and help to end disadvantage in Western Sydney.

The night will be an experimental, no frills affair. Participants will be given no more than a beanie, a sheet of cardboard and a cup of soup before sleeping out on the grass at the university’s campus.

The night will give participants a small taste of what it is like to experience disadvantage in Western Sydney.

This combination of fundraising and awareness will allow Vinnies Western Sydney to prevent homelessness from happening in the first place for so many people affected by disadvantage in our local community.

To participate in this event, please register to our GoFundraise page and click 'How to Register' below for instructions.

You may alternatively wish to show your support by donating to this event.
