Community Bank Albany's Big Sleep Out 2024
 
The Big Sleep Out is an annual fundraising initiative that encourages you to get out of your comfort zone for one night to raise funds for the less fortunate in our city who are experiencing homelessness.
 
Join in to support the organisations that are working tirelessly to combat Albany's homelessness issues and help raise awareness of what it is like for over 9,000 Western Australians who are homeless on any given night.
 
Donations for the event can be made here: https://albanys-big-sleep-out-2024.raiselysite.com/
