I'm fundraising for Backpack Bed for Homeless

I'm one of the twenty students from Years 7 to Year 12 who have volunteered to participate in this Homelessness Sleepover. 

I will be serving meals and having conversations with local people doing it tough at this time of year.

Somerset has proudly partnered with national charity Backpack Bed for Homeless - who provide Backpack Beds and Fire Retardant Sleeping Bags to homeless people across Australia.

Thank you for supporting my fundraising.

As a community, it is critical that we provide people experiencing homelessness with the support to rebuild their lives and reconnect. The ‘hands on’ nature of our Homelessness Sleepout will allow students to develop a deeper understanding about homelessness on the Gold Coast, allowing students to develop their empathy and provide an opportunity to take action.
