One night. A powerful purpose. š¤
This winter, our Director, Catherine Coles, will be taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to help raise awareness and vital funds for Australians experiencing homelessness.
Through her work in family law, Catherine sees firsthand how quickly life can change. For many women, homelessness doesnāt begin with a lifetime of disadvantage. It can begin after a separation, a loss of financial security, or a major life transition that leaves them and their children facing an uncertain future.
Increasingly, women, particularly those rebuilding after separation are among the fastest growing groups at risk of homelessness in Australia.
The CEO Sleepout is an opportunity to shine a light on these hidden stories and support organisations like the St Vincent de Paul Society, who provide critical services including emergency accommodation, meals, support and pathways to stability.
While Catherine will spend just one cold winter night outside, thousands of Australians face that reality every night.
We are incredibly proud to support Catherine as she uses her voice to advocate for women, children and families who need it most.
As Catherine says:
āFor the women quietly starting again, and the children who deserve stability, Iām sleeping out to raise awareness and help create real change.ā
If you would like to support Catherineās fundraising efforts, every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference.
