End homelessness in Australia
The City of Canterbury Bankstown Mayor Bilal El-Hayek is hosting a Mission Australia sleepout at Bankstown Airport to help raise funds for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
According to the latest census data, homelessness in our City has nearly doubled since 2011, and the main issues which contributed to the increase included a lack of affordable housing, drug and alcohol abuse and a rise in people seeking refuge from domestic and family violence.
The Mayor’s Sleepout is being held in conjunction with Mission Australia and Bankstown Airport (Aeria Management Group) to raise much needed funds for vital support services for people and communities in need.
The Mayor is challenging business CEOs and community leaders to get involved and encourage you dig deep and lead the way.
Spend the night with the Mayor by donating $500 or more!
The event will be held at Bankstown Airport on the night of 11 August 2023, from 7pm - 7am and includes dinner, supper and an early breakfast.
