ARMIDALE AND TAMWORTH LOCALS TO COME TOGETHER FOR VINNIES COMMUNITY SLEEPOUTS

Friday 27 August

On Friday 27^th August 2021, participants across NSW will once again come together in a state-wide effort to raise important funds and awareness for the most vulnerable people in our local communities.

By choosing to sleep out for one night exposed to the elements you can help raise crucial funds whilst connecting with some of the realities faced by those experiencing homelessness and disadvantage.

Join as a team with your local sports club, business, community group or sign up as an individual and let’s rally together to make a difference in your patch of NSW! Find your nearest event location below to register or give now. Your support will go towards Vinnies Services and Programs in your area, providing vital access to food, crisis accommodation, case management and financial assistance to locals in their time of need.
