Why take part

More than 7,400 people are currently experiencing homelessness across South Australia, and the need for support continues to grow.

Walk a Mile in My Boots is a simple but powerful way for workplaces to come together, build team spirit and stand alongside people experiencing homelessness. Every step and every dollar raised helps ensure people can access connection, care and pathways out of homelessness.

On Friday 7 August, thousands of people across South Australia will walk in solidarity. Workplaces can also take part during National Homelessness Week (3–9 August) in a way that suits their team.

Together, your workplace can help create lasting change and show what’s possible when a community comes together.

So rally your workplace and lace up to help end homelessness in South Australia.

STEP UP WITH YOUR WORKPLACE

“It was a humbling and reflective experience to walk even a mile in the winter cold of what some of SA's homeless community endure every day. It was emotional crossing the finish line, cheered on by so many of the clients that Hutt St Centre supports.”

– Brodie Matheson - RAA
