The last Census shows that, on any given night, at least 30,000 Victorians are without a home (including 6,800 children). People are living in their cars, staying somewhere temporary like a tent or a friend’s couch, in a shelter or refuge, or have nowhere to go at all. In a country as wealthy as Australia, no-one should be without a home. Housing ends Homelessness!
So, put on your walking shoes and join us at Ringwood Lake on August 5th, for an interactive walk to help raise awareness of homelessness in our community and the need for more social housing.
We'll also be supporting the Houses at Parliament Campaign, so bring along a folded origami house (or two!) to add to our display.
10am to 12pm
Find us near the soundshell Coffee available for purchase
What to Bring: Origami House / BYO Water bottle / Umbrella (just in case) / Donation of non-perishable food for those experiencing homelessness (optional)
