No matter who you are or where you come from, everyone needs a safe, decent and affordable home. Homelessness is both preventable and solvable.
This National Homelessness Week (7 – 13 August), NAPCAN is focusing on the impact of homelessness on children and young people, the importance of prevention, and what we can do today to make a difference.
Head over to the NAPCAN Youth Speak Out’s (NYSO) Instagram page Untaught Education to hear what young people are saying, including conversations with two Sydney-based, grass-root, community-led charities, Acts of Kindness Community Outreach and Early Bird Cafe.
Both organisations are doing amazing work on the ground providing food, clothing, warm smiles and conversation to Sydney-siders who are doing it tough on the streets or are struggling and need an extra hand.
