'Symbol of empathy': Vinnies NSW CEO on Sleepout event

Vinnies NSW CEO Yolanda Saiz has joined Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood to discuss the Vinnies CEO sleepout in Sydney. The Vinnies’ annual CEO sleepout is held to raise awareness for homelessness, with money raised by it to be sent to support for Australians in need. Ms Saiz said the sleepout is a “symbol of empathy” and of “trying to understand the issue”. “Myself and all the CEOs will go home to a warm bed tomorrow, but there’ll be 122,000 Australians across the country who will be wondering where they’ll be sleeping tomorrow night,” she said. “It’s an act of wanting to raise money to support people experiencing homelessness and an act to learn more about what homelessness looks like in 2024.”
