Will you help put youth homelessness to bed?

Sleep At The ’G may look a bit different this year, but youth homelessness remains the same

Due to recent outbreaks of COVID-19 across Australia and too much uncertainty and risk surrounding mass participation events, MCM has made the extremely difficult decision to not proceed with Sleep At The ‘G this year.  The good news is that we're still planning a bit of fun in support for youth homelessness.

Get your phone ready for a Melbourne city treasure hunt! Our clues will take you on a tour of town where you’ll learn and explore and earn points for prizes, while raising awareness and vital funds for youth homelessness.

Our young people still need your support, now more than ever, and we’ll be relying on your fundraising efforts even more.

Everyone has been affected by COVID-19 in some way. We’re also aware that the young people we work with are especially vulnerable at the moment. So, we'd love if you would get involved. We're still in the planning stages, but we'll update this page as soon as registrations are open.

Other ways to get involved

You can still support MCM by hosting your own Sleep At The ’G activity at home on a date that suits you. Here’s some examples of what you can do help put youth homelessness to bed.

Camp out in your backyard or on your couch

Host a special auction

Your colleagues may have a whole range of super skills outside of their role that you don't know about. People can nominate tasks, skills or services they would be willing to offer once social distancing restrictions lift. Examples could include:

• A surfing lesson
• Personal training sessions
• Wardrobe clearance and fashion advice
• Coffee to your desk - someone makes or goes out to get your morning coffee for a month
• Auctioning a car parking spot for a month
• Auctioning the opportunity to become a dog owner for a weekend!
• One-on-one mentoring sessions with executives

Or any other amazing services your staff wish to auction.
