In addition to funding crisis accommodation, food, health care, counselling, employment, and support to find a permanent home for thousands of people across the country, Vinnies also helps to provide education opportunities like ACU’s Clemente Australia.

 Acting Associate Director, Identity & Mission, Robert Tonkli, will again represent ACU in this event. On 23 June, he’ll get a small glimpse into what it’s like to sleep rough. While it won’t be a comfortable night, he says it’s worth it to help make a difference in the lives of those who go without, every night of the year.

As well as fundraising for essential services, participants hear from people with lived experience of homelessness and learn about the factors that contribute to the growing number of people facing housing instability.
