Homelessness is an increasingly urgent issue in our community.
Nedd Brockmann is the headline speaker at our next Conversations That Matter: Homelessness event, continuing the Foundation’s commitment to hosting powerful voices that inspire action and drive positive social change in Geelong.
Known nationally for his extraordinary 4,000km run across Australia to raise funds and awareness for homelessness, Brockmann has become a symbol of determination, resilience, and community spirit. His story has resonated deeply with Australians, not only for the physical feat itself, but for the purpose behind it, shining a light on homelessness and mobilising support for those experiencing it.
Join Nedd Brockmann and a panel of special guest speakers including Amy Hunter, Josephine Taylor and Jessie Moore for a powerful and thought-provoking lunch exploring the challenge of homelessness in Geelong.
Hosted by the Give Where You Live Foundation, this event brings together community leaders, advocates, and changemakers to spark meaningful conversation and change
