Mayor's Lights Out Sleepout 1

By Mission Australia

Join the Mayor's mission to help end homelessness in Canterbury-Bankstown!

Mission Australia helps the Canterbury-Bankstown community thrive. Funds raised will help secure safe and affordable housing for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the Canterbury-Bankstown.

Early intervention and prevention is at the heart of our work as we pursue our vision of an Australia where all of us have a safe home and can thrive.

On any given night more than 122,000 Australians - including over 17,500 children under twelve - don't have a safe place to call home. This statistic has risen almost 14% in the past 5 years, and in a wealthy nation like ours I think this is unacceptable.

Every bit counts, so please give what you can.
