Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

A great night out(side)

Last night was an experience that I and my colleagues are very proud to have been a part of. 14 Deloitte staff bedded down on the cold concourse of the MCG and there was no football to be seen.
For a good cause, we gave up our beds and our comforts to sleep on the hard concrete. We had a good laugh at everyone's bed-hair in the morning, and then wondered why we were awake at 5:30am. All part of the experience as it was now time to move on.
Every night, so many Melbournians sleep in far worse places than the MCG because they have no other choice. We got to meet some of them last night and hear their stories. We got to meet some of the amazing case workers that do everything they can to help people get on a better track through life. We met the fundraisers that work so hard to keep the cogs turning.
And we raised money. Thank you to everyone that contributed. Every dollar helps.
Donations can still be made. If you can help us by sharing this to friends and family, so many people will be so very grateful.

1 more warm sleep

Tomorrow is the day we all head to 'G for our big sleep! A baker's dozen of Deloitte staff will be attending and braving the 7 degrees forecast for Melbourne. Yikes!

I am so proud to be part of a company that is committed to it's social impact having today confirmed that Deloitte will be dollar matching an additional $4,000 donation to the great cause! That takes us to over $9,000 raised for Melbourne City Mission and marking this as an amazing success.

Wish us luck! And please share our fundraiser with everyone you know.

Nights are getting colder

I don't know if you have noticed the nights getting colder, but I certainly have. It might be because Sleep at the 'G is just over 1 week away and the colder the nights get, the colder the sleep will be.

Luckily for us, unlike many homeless, we have the options of taking more clothes to the event with us if it gets colder. We know that we will have a hot meal that night and wake up to a warm breakfast. We know that at the very least we will have a piece of cardboard to sleep on and the company of friends. We know that the very next day we can go home and curl up in our own beds and put the heater on.

So many do not.

And that's why we are doing this. Currently 10 Deloitte employees are giving up their comforts for one night so that others may have a little more comfort when they are at their most vulnerable.
Please spread the word. Donate now to help put homelessness to bed!

We're helping put youth homelessness to bed

The Deloitte Foundation are proud to be sponsoring Melbourne City Mission with Sleep at the 'G in 2023. Reaching $4,000 will mean that Deloitte will dollar match your contribution, doubling what we can give to help those sleeping rough.

You can donate directly to Deloitte's effort on the right, or you can find your colleague and donate via their contribution page (that way they look like a champ as well!)

We're helping MCM put youth homelessness to bed in support of more than 6,000 young people experiencing homelessness every night in Victoria.

Young people need more than a safe place to live, they need stability and support to develop life skills, heal from trauma, and to transition to independence. Your support is needed now more than ever.

You can help by joining the Deloitte team at the MCG on Wednesday 10 May 2023 or giving what you can. Thank you.

Thank you to our Supporters
