COAST SHELTER CHALLENGES YOU TO SLEEP OUT FOR ONE NIGHT!

If you knew that giving up your bed for just one night would provide safe accommodation for someone experiencing homelessness or domestic and family violence, would you do it?

That’s what Coast Shelter is asking the Central Coast community to do! Sleeping rough for one night is part of it, but raising awareness and funds is the aim behind Coast Shelters 30th anniversary Sleepout. The event is being held at Central Coast Stadium on Friday 5 August 2022.

Coast Shelter is asking businesspeople, community groups and individuals to get involved and register online at www.coastsheltersleepout.com.au

Everyone over 18 is encouraged to register and ask friends, colleagues, and family to sponsor them. To be eligible to join in the Sleepout you will need to raise at minimum of $1000.

For our “Sleepers”, it will be cold and uncomfortable, but it will give a small insight into what it’s like to sleep rough. Homelessness comes in many forms such as people experiencing domestic and family violence and having to leave their home, young people couch surfing because the family home isn’t safe, or those experiencing mental health concerns.

Coast Shelter is proud to announce Central Coast Leagues Club as the Major Sponsor of the Sleepout and Mars Food Australia will sponsor dinner for participants. Both businesses will have a large cohort of their team there on the night and they encourage other Central Coast businesses, community leaders and individuals to get involved.

Edward Camilleri, Central Coast Leagues Club CEO said “Central Coast Leagues Club is honored to be the Major Sponsor for this year’s Sleepout. As Central Coast Leagues Club has been a founding supporter of Coast Shelter, I felt that sponsoring and participating in the Sleepout is not only a great way to continue supporting Coast Shelter but also help raise the awareness of the rise in homelessness and people fleeing domestic and family violence right here on the Central Coast”.

Rebecca Boddan, Marketing Executive at Lendlease said “If you are looking to be more self-aware of the realities of homelessness, the Sleepout does just that. Waking up in the early hours of the morning after a rough night’s sleep in the elements, I felt a new sense of empathy towards the people whose daily life is burdened by this routine. I look forward to seeing the progress Coast Shelter makes towards homelessness on the Central Coast and hope to further my knowledge of it so I can share it with those around me.”

 Coast Shelter CEO Michael Starr ads “The face of homelessness has changed a great deal. We know domestic and family violence is one of the main contributing factors for people who find themselves homeless.”

Michael continues “I ask the Central Coast Community to step out of your comfort zone and please get involved in this year’s 30th anniversary Sleepout event. It’s an experience not to be missed and will help us raise awareness and funds to address homelessness right here on the Central Coast.”
