Join us for an impactful and inspiring event as local council comes together with the community to host the Mayor's Lights Out Sleepout.

Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those who need it most. Let’s come together, sleep out, and take a stand against homelessness.

Inspired Network Support Services

A huge thank you for taking part in this. Choosing to spend a night sleeping outdoors won't replicate the reality of homelessness, but it sends a powerful message of compassion, awareness, and solidarity with those doing it tough in our community. Especially in winter! Every conversation started, every dollar raised, and every act of support helps shine a light on an issue that affects far too many people. Wishing you and everyone involved a safe and meaningful night. Thank you for leading by example and reminding us that together we can build a more caring and compassionate community. 💙

Mayor's Office

From all of us in the Mayor’s Office — we’re incredibly proud of you for doing the Mayor’s Sleepout. It’s not every day the boss volunteers for a cold night on purpose! All jokes aside, this is a powerful way to shine a light on homelessness and support people doing it tough in our community. We’ll be cheering you on and wishing you a very strong coffee the next morning. Thank you for leading by example and making a real difference.
