Be inspired by Matthew Scott and his mission to house the homeless in Brisbane, Australia
woot! Meet League Of Champions member, Matthew Scott.
Matty is a much loved member in our community and is the founder of the non-profit, Housing The Homeless Queensland.
It’s time you all knew about Matthew and his bold vision!
If you feel inspired by his inspirational story and want help him to help the world’s homeless…
Well here’s your chance.
Matthew’s mission is to bring more smiles, community and opportunity to those experiencing homelessness. First in Australia and then on a global scale.
Homelessness in Australia is on the rise and Matthew has a 2-step mission to reverse that trend significantly.
The first step (currently in operation) is to create a fleet of portable bike-caravans that protect people from the harsh elements and provide them more location freedom.
Have a look in the comments/show notes for some pictures of these!
The organisation would love support to help build and distribute more of these portable shelters.
Have you got any ideas for fund-raising?
How could awareness of this project be increased?
Would you or your business like to explore available sponsorship opportunities?
Please leave a comment or private message if you can assist Matthew in his courageous journey...in any way!

The second step in the Housing The Homeless mission will be to create more community and opportunity for the homeless by providing easy to construct and cheap shipping-container housing.
There are already some exciting precedents for this “housing-first” model and it was discovered that housing homeless citizens is actually less costly and a far better investment for governments. One project reported the following:
"Detox visits were reduced by 82 percent. Incarceration days and costs were reduced by 76 percent. 77 percent of those entering the program continued to be housed in the program after two years."
Listen to this inspiring story of a passion project in creation. Of course there have been highs and lows as there will continue to be...we hope Matthew’s story inspires you to go out and create cool stuff in the world too.
Stuff that your heart and soul is asking you to create!
Matthew, myself and the League Of Champions community applaud you!
We wish you and Housing The Homeless all the very best in your endeavours this year.

P.s Time sensitive: There is a current raffle fund-raiser. For a $20 ticket you could win a latest model Thermomix! Ticket numbers are being kept low so the odds are decent. Of course all funds raised go towards building more caravans for homeless people. Be quick! (link in comments)
