Sleep at the 'G

  • Family and kids
  • Activity

The Melbourne City Mission's Sleep at The G is an annual event where compassionate Victorians come together in support of thousands of young Victorians who are without a safe place to call home.

Every night over 7,600 young people in Victoria have no place to call home. By experiencing one night sleeping at the iconic MCG, you, along with your friends, families and colleagues, will raise essential funds to support vulnerable youth who are experiencing homelessness, to become independent adults that thrive.
