Community Backing Needed For Bosses On Buses Event

Community members are being encouraged to come along and show their support as Safe Sleep Mackay prepares to launch its inaugural Bosses on Buses event, aimed at raising vital funds for those experiencing homelessness across the region.

Set to take place on Friday, March 27 at the Mackay Showgrounds from 3pm to 7pm, the event will offer the public an opportunity to step inside the Safe Sleep bus, meet participating local leaders, and gain a deeper understanding of the initiative driving change in the community.

Safe Sleep Mackay spokesperson Lisa Jamieson said the event is about more than just fundraising, highlighting the importance of community connection and collective action.

“The Bosses on Buses sleepout is about leadership, our community coming together and stepping up when it matters most. We’re asking the Mackay community to get behind this event — nominate a boss, make a donation, or come along and check out the bus.”

Funds raised will help Safe Sleep Mackay operationalise the bus service and start providing safe, dignified overnight temporary accommodation people experiencing homelessness in the Mackay region.
