Helping fight homelessness in New Zealand
Our CEO Peter McRae is a long supporter of the fight against homelessness in Australia and this year he is also helping to fundraise to counter the same terrible issue in New Zealand. For the first time, this week he will participate in Lifewise NZ event The Big Sleepout, spending one night on Auckland’s streets to raise funds and awareness about homelessness in New Zealand. While it’s one cold night for Peter, it is a dreadful reality for so many. So please, if you can spare some cash, donate to support Peter and this cause.
