Which will support the 6,000 young people experiencing homelessness tonight. In fact...Every. Single. Night.
The more money we raise, the more young people we can support through our range of services and locations – increasing our impact and moving even closer to our goal to put youth homelessness to bed.
You helped us raise just over $1 million from Sleep At The 'G 2018, meaning that we were able to build our world-first hub integrating support services, education and crisis accommodation right here in Melbourne’s CBD.
But we're just getting started.
Can you imagine being a teenager with no safe place to call home? Being homeless is traumatic – and often dangerous.
Yet it’s the reality for over 6,000 young people in Victoria right now. They have no secure place of their own, and are often forced into unsafe housing, someone’s couch – or in some cases, out on the street. In one of the world’s most liveable cities, we know you’ll agree this is not ok.
Funds raised during the 2019 Sleep At The ’G will cover capital expenditure for redeveloping, upgrading and furnishing facilities at our other existing youth crisis centres. We’re making sure every dollar you donate has as big an impact as possible on the lives of homeless youth.
It means that young people at risk of homelessness will have even more support when times are tough.
So we're asking you to help us out – call on your mates, colleagues and managers to donate as much as possible so that together, we can make a real difference.
This year our annual mass sleepover at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) takes place on Thursday 16 May 2019.
Hosted by Melbourne City Mission, it’s made possible through the amazing support of our major partner, Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC).
