People going the extra mile

$625,470

Raised to help end homelessness

Across South Australia and beyond, thousands of people laced up their boots and took on Hutt St Centre's Walk a Mile in My Boots Challenge for 2022.

Together, they stepped up to go the extra mile and raised over $624,000 to give hope to the more than 6,000 people experiencing homelessness in South Australia. What an incredible achievement!

This generous support ensures around 850 people can find a warm welcome and a fresh start when they walk through Hutt St Centre's doors each month.

Thank you for sharing our vision to end homelessness. And thank you for helping to create a brighter future for people doing it tough.

Help people like nathan

When Nathan was 15 he fled his home in rural South Australia - and his violent father - and hitched a ride to Adelaide. "I had nowhere to go. I spent six months sleeping on the streets, in parks, in abandoned houses - wherever I could find."

Nathan's path out of homelessness began when he was connected with Hutt St Centre. "Hutt St Centre really helped me because the staff never judge - they only ever want to help."

By taking part, you're helping people like Nathan who have fallen on hard times and have nowhere else to turn.
