Homelessness Week is coming up this August and we’re walking together to create change. 💙

Join us in Launceston on Wednesday 5 August at 10:30am at the City Park Rotunda as we come together with Shelter TAS, City Mission, and the Salvation Army to raise awareness of homelessness and show support for people in our community doing it tough.

We’ll walk together to Royal Park, where we’ll gather for morning tea thanks to the City Mission Snag Chat Van, Salvation Army Street Beat Van, and the Vinnies Van.

Everyone is welcome. Come along, walk with us, and stand in solidarity with Tasmanians experiencing homelessness.

Together, we can help raise awareness and be part of the change.

Join us as we once again come together for our annual Homelessness Week – Walk to Raise Awareness in Launceston.

This community walk is an opportunity to stand alongside people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, raise awareness of the challenges they face, and advocate for a future where everyone has access to safe and secure housing.

The walk will take place on Wednesday, 5 August, commencing at 10:30 am from the City Park Rotunda. Together, we will walk through the city before concluding at Royal Park.

Following the walk, participants are invited to stay and connect over a warm meal, with Vinnies Van, the City Mission SnagChat Van, and the Salvation Army Street Beat Van serving soup, coffee, and sausages.

Everyone is welcome to attend. If you are able, we encourage you to bring a warm jacket or blanket to donate to Vinnies Van. Your generosity will help provide comfort and warmth to people doing it tough during Tasmania's cold winter.

Together, we can raise awareness, inspire compassion, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. We hope you'll join us.

Vinnies Australia visits Waverley Primary School
We had the pleasure of welcoming Warren Brown, Youth and Community Programs Coordinator (North) from St Vincent de Paul Society to visit Waverley Wonders. Warren shared with our group all about The V – Where Community Connects in Kings Meadows — a vibrant community hub offering a welcoming space for people to connect, access support services, and take part in a range of local programs and activities.

He also spoke about the wonderful Vinnies Van service, which provides nutritious meals, helpful information, referrals to support services, and — just as importantly — friendly conversation for people in need.

Waverley Wonders want to give back to the community by baking biscuits to donate to the Vinnies Vans. We are excited to start baking in our new Kitchen and Dining Hall. Following the baking we will meet up with Warren to donate the biscuits!

Warren also introduced our students to The V – Youth Hub, designed for young people aged 6–12. If you’d like to learn more, you can contact: [email protected]

A big thank you to Warren for sharing his time and inspiring our students to make a difference in their community 💙
