Freds Community Sleepout

Last Friday, we gathered for the Fred’s Place Vinnies Community Sleepout at Seagulls Club to raise funds and awareness for homelessness in our community. Fred’s Place is a lifeline for over 130 people every morning in the Tweed Shire, providing crucial support and services to those in need. With one of the highest rates of homelessness in NSW, the Tweed community relies on this vital service.

This yearly event ensures that Fred’s Place continues to be the only full-service drop-in centre for the homeless in the Tweed, offering a safe space, meals, and support. Tweed Community Clubs is proud to contribute to this cause, not only by donating to maintain these essential services but also by providing thousands of frozen meals each year through Our Lady of the Rosary Outreach’s “Lunch with Friends” program.

A big thank you to everyone who joined the sleepout and supported this important cause. Your participation makes a real difference, helping Fred’s Place continue their mission to support those who need it most.

Together, we’re making a real difference.
