Daggy Jumper Day your own way
Brisbane Youth Service's Daggy Jumper Day, held during Homelessness Week each August, invites people to express warmth, creativity, and community action to support young people facing homelessness.
By wearing a daggy jumper and fundraising, you can help create a future where every young person has a safe place to call home and the chance to thrive.
By taking part, you will:
- build awareness and understanding of youth homelessness
- show support for young people
- help fund critical support that allows young people to move towards stability.
Every activity and conversation makes a real difference.
