This year I am taking part in the St Vincent de Paul CEO Sleepout in Sydney on 22 June. Along with other CEOs, I’ll be sleeping outdoors for one night to draw attention to the issue of homelessness in Australia and raise money for the homeless and their support services.
It’s one night of minor discomfort for me but, as the nights get colder, take a moment to think about what it must be like for the thousands of people sleeping on the streets across Australia.
