I'm taking action to help end homelessness.

I’ve committed to sleeping in my car overnight this August – it’s a bad night’s sleep for a good cause.

The increased cost of living, impact of domestic violence, and lack of affordable housing are all factors contributing to a homelessness crisis in Australia. 

Over a single year in Australia approximately 280,000 people seek assistance from homelessness services. As of 2021 (when the last census was conducted) it was estimated there was over 1,700 people suffering or at risk of suffering homelessness.

I’ve joined Sleep In Your Car  to raise awareness and vital funds to help families find a safe home. By giving up one night of comfort, I am helping those who spend countless more find somewhere proper to sleep.
