World Homeless Day
Monday 10/10/2022
On World Homeless Day, Monday 10 October the Ellen Melville Centre hosts a free Super Event with food, entertainment and stalls. All welcome.
Celebrate the resilience, strength, and diversity of people with a lived experience of homelessness. Learn more about what it means to be without a home and how the community can get involved so that homelessness becomes ‘brief, rare and non-recurring’. An exhibition and sale of art created by people with lived experience of homelessness launches at Albert Park Cottage on Monday 10 October and runs until Friday 14 October.
View panel discussions at the Ellen Melville Centre from 10-14 October on homelessness and housing: policy, practice, and lived experience.
The ground floor screens at the Central City Library will be activated all week with films and documentaries related to homelessness.
These events have been created with community partners and people with lived experience of rough sleeping.
