Missionbeat 30th Anniversary has now finished 16 Oct 2009 - 16 Oct 2009 Help us reach $30,000 to celebrate 30 years of service! For many Sydneysiders, our famous Missionbeat vans are a familiar and comforting site – patrolling the inner city to help homeless people and those most in need, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Sydney wouldn’t be Sydney without Missionbeat. Every day, our vans respond to calls from the public, emergency services and other homeless organisations, to provide assistance to individuals and families in crisis. In June this year, Missionbeat started its bike service. People sleeping rough are often tucked away out of site, not only for privacy but also to avoid getting drenched or sunburnt. By putting our workers on bikes, we improve our accessibility to people living around Sydney’s stairwells, alcoves and doorways to make sure they receive basic medical care and accommodation. As long as there are homeless people sleeping rough on Sydney’s streets there’ll be Missionbeat. |
