The Big Sleepout

The Lifewise Big Sleepout is a fundraiser to tackle the growing issue of homelessness in Auckland and Rotorua. There are more than 100 people sleeping rough in Auckland’s city centre alone, and thousands of vulnerable people living in unsafe or unsuitable accommodation.

Homelessness is a significant issue – but Lifewise believes that with the right approach, it can be solved. Lifewise has a unique no band-aids for ending homelessness – they help people get off the streets and into permanent homes.

Now in its 6th year, the Lifewise Big Sleepout will see over 150 influential movers and shakers giving up their home comforts to sleep rough for the night. ICG is proud to support a client who is participating in this event, assisting Lifewise with their goal to raise over $250,000 for their critical services and subsequently end homelessness for good.
