On any given night, more than 105,000 Australians experience homelessness and 44% of those experiencing homelessness are women, and over 17,000 children under the age of 12 do not have a stable place to call home in Australia. These statistics are unacceptable to me, which is why I will be joining business and community leaders from around Australia to take part in the 2017 Vinnies CEO Sleepout, raising awareness and vital funds to support services for the thousands of men, women and children experiencing homelessness across the country.  

To find out more about how Vinnie's communicate to drive action to respond to homelessness, I interviewed David Wark, Chief Executive Officer for the St Vincent de Paul Society in South Australia. David is committed to serving the people who seek the Society's assistance, be it through utilising his business expertise to ensuring critical support services are maintained, homeless accommodation, conference work or the Vinnies Centres. I encourage. In today's episode of Be The Drop, David talks about not over-inflating his role among the many people who make Vinnies services possible, about uniting the not-for-profit and corporate worlds, and he stresses the importance of the human touch in effective communication...

If you also finds these statistics unacceptable, I encourage you to donate much needed funds by following this link to my fundraising page (also included at the bottom of the post).
