So What’s The Sudsy Challenge All About?
Well, there are 116,000 Australians experiencing
homelessness and that’s too many people feeling
lonely and disconnected from their community.
Orange Sky Australia provides a safe, non-
judgemental and reliable space for volunteers and friends to
connect through genuine conversation.
This April 5-7, you can make a difference in someone’s life by
wearing the same set of clothes for three days (without washing
them!) and starting conversations that matter. Conversations
that will raise funds and awareness so that we can continue
support friends through clean clothes, warm showers and
genuine conversation.
