🌙 COMMUNITY SLEEPOUT 2026 | CLUB DUBBO
For one night, we sleep outside. For too many, it’s every night.

There are people in our community in Dubbo, NSW quietly facing impossible choices every day — choosing between food and bills, warmth and survival, dignity and hardship.

On Thursday 18 June 2026, the Club Dubbo CEO & Community Sleepout 2026 will bring together community leaders, businesses, organisations, and local residents for one shared purpose: to stand in solidarity with people experiencing hardship in our community and ensure they are not forgotten.

This initiative is proudly delivered through a partnership between Club Dubbo and Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre Ltd (Connecting Community Services), working together to strengthen local support across the region.

A sincere thank you to Club Dubbo CEO Brett Lane and the entire Club Dubbo team for their leadership, compassion, and commitment to real community impact.

Every dollar raised stays local and directly supports individuals and families experiencing hardship, including practical assistance such as food relief and essential support services through local providers including Help A Mate Dubbo.

You do not need to attend the Sleepout to make a difference.

You can:
• Join us on the night
• Donate online
• Share this campaign

Sometimes hope begins with something small: a meal, a conversation, a community that cares.

🌙 SOMETHING POWERFUL IS COMING TO DUBBO…

There are moments that don’t need to speak loudly to be felt.

This is one of them.

Something is beginning to take shape in our community — not just an event, but a shared experience designed to deepen understanding, awareness, and connection.

It reflects a reality that exists quietly around us every day, even when it is not always seen.

💙 More will be revealed soon.

For now, we simply invite reflection.

Because before action comes awareness.
And before change comes the willingness to see.
