The Lions Club of Haddon are hosting this event to help raise funds for the Central Highlands Homelessness alliance.
As the auspice agency for the CHHA, Uniting Vic.Tas is supporting this event by coordinating registrations and collecting donations for distribution across the CHHA agencies.
13-14 June | Haddon Lions Park
Why a sleepout?
Every night over 5000 members of our community, including children and the elderly, experience insecure housing or homelessness in the Central Highlands. They sleep on the street, in tents or cars. They are neighbours, colleagues, school friends.
By participating in the Corporate and Community Sleepout, you’ll help shine a light on this critical issue while raising much-needed funds through sponsorship and donations.
