Justin, who is a Morse Group Managing Partner has been supporting the event for the past five years to raise funds to address homelessness in our community.
More than 116,000 Australians do not have a safe and secure place to live, including an increasing number of young people and older women.
ALSO MAKING NEWS:
This year Justin gave himself a fundraising goal of $8,250 which is what he almost reached last year when completing the sleepout in the midst of the pandemic isolation in the backyard of Morse Group Bathurst.
By Wednesday, he had raised $6,100 with sponsorship and said he was very appreciative of all supporters to date.
"This money will go towards crisis accommodation options for families and individuals at risk of homelessness, case management and counselling, educational and living skills courses, health services and home packages for those people Vinnies helps transition to housing," he said.
