Michael Barry (President of St Augustus Conference of St Vincent de Paul Society supporting Freeman House Drug & Alcohol Unit). Michael spoke about the CEO Sleepout on 30 August held at SportsUNE. Their fundraising goal for homeless people is $30,000. Five weeks out from the Sleepout they only have 19 participants and would love to have double this number if possible. Participants will sleep on the floor and will be supplied with a sheet of cardboard to sleep on and a beanie (BYO sleeping bag!). The guest speaker will be Garry McMillan, who will talk about his ‘homelessness journey’. In the last 12 months, due to cost of living pressures, there are 30% more people experiencing homelessness and if someone owns a car (as their only form of accommodation), they aren’t regarded as being homeless!
