FUNDRAISING & MARKETING A Year of Generosity, Compassion and Communityty Impact
tree, and for those feeling isolated to know they weren’t forgotten. Such kindness brings dignity and joy to homes across the state — creating lasting memories for those who might otherwise have gone without. In June each year, business and community leaders across Tasmania step up — quite literally — by spending a night outdoors as part of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. This powerful event raised vital awareness and funds to support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Once again the event demonstrated the strength of Tasmanian leadership and compassion in action, helping fund Vinnies programs that provide housing assistance, Emergency Relief, and pathways toward independence. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters throughout the year, Vinnies Tasmania continues to respond to growing demand for help — providing not just immediate relief, but hope and long-term support. On behalf of everyone at Vinnies Tasmania, and the thousands of Tasmanians whose lives have been touched by your kindness, thank you. Your ongoing support enables us to continue our mission of offering a hand up to those who need it most. Together, we’re building stronger, more compassionate communities across Tasmania.
The past year has once again shown the incredible generosity of Tasmanians. Through their compassion and commitment, Vinnies Tasmania has been able to bring hope, comfort, and dignity to over 19,000 individuals and 2,700 families doing it tough across the state. Together, our community of donors, members, volunteers, and partners have helped ensure that no one was left behind.

Through the 2024 Winter Appeal, donors and supporters helped provide essential relief — through financial donations to support our Emergency Relief program and those in our community needing help with rent and utilities, as well as physical items including warm clothing and food for hampers. Thanks to your generosity, Vinnies volunteers were able to visit homes, listen with compassion, and deliver practical support that helped families stay warm, safe, and connected during one of the toughest winters in recent years. Across Tasmania the Vinnies Christmas Appeal once again brought communities together to share the true spirit of giving. Donations of funds, food, and gifts made it possible for families across Tasmania to enjoy a special Christmas meal, for children to wake up to presents under the
