LACE UP TO HELP
END HOMELESSNESS
This August, walk a mile for people experiencing homelessness
No one should have to face homelessness alone.
Walk in solidarity with our community on Friday 7 August — a powerful moment to stand with the 7,000+ people in South Australia without a safe place to call home.
Go the extra mile: fundraise and take on the challenge to walk 2, 7 or even 10 miles a day during National Homelessness Week (3–9 August).
In Australia, it’s estimated that a person sleeping rough walks around 28km (17.8 miles) each week — just to reach essential services and find safety for the night.
Will you step up to help end homelessness for them?
