Coastlink’s CEO, Lynne Graham, was proud to be part of this year’s Coast Shelter Sleepout event held on Friday 2 August 2024.
Through her participation, Lynne was not only able to raise awareness of the organisation’s vital work, but also gain first-hand insight into the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness.
“I’d like to congratulate the event organisers and my fellow members of our local business community, who all worked together (and braved the cold!) to make this such a transformative event.
“While each individual had their own special reason for participating, it was wonderful to be part of this empathetic, caring group of people, with such a sense of camaraderie.
“The stories shared on the night will stay with all of us, and I hope our support helps to shine a light on the issues of homelessness and domestic violence, and foster greater empathy and understanding within our community,” Lynne said.
