Beyond the Street Corner

16 October 2009

Our third annual fundraising event sold out, with over 400 guests attending. The evening raised enough funds for St Kilda Gatehouse to operate as a ‘full-time’ service in 2010. We owe much gratitude to our guest performers. Maree represented the Gatehouse community, singing a personal version of “Out Here On My Own”. Paul Kelly performed four of his well known and loved singles. Tim Costello gave an inspiring message, both amusing and moving guests with his stories of St Kilda.

Many thanks to those who donated goods and services to the Silent Auction

Winter Sleep-In

St Kilda Gatehouse provides a place of warmth and comfort during the day - however many who come to Gatehouse are homeless and spend the night on the street.

This winter St Kilda Gatehouse is launching its first:

Winter Sleep-In
on Friday August 21st 2009

As a small initiative a group of women will stay overnight at Gatehouse with a mattress, bedding, pyjamas, dvds, and breakfast the following morning.

If you or a group of your friends/family would like to sponsor one or more women to attend the Winter Sleep-in please go to the DONATIONS page.

Your donation will go directly to covering the costs of one person staying overnight at Gatehouse. All donations are tax deductible. If you would like to support the event in a practical way click here for details on what we need or for more information send an email to info@stkildagatehouse.org.au or ring 03 9534 2500.

St Kilda Gatehouse Annual Fundraising Dinner 2008

Monday October 27th 2008, 6.30pm

A fantastic night!

The newly renovated St Kilda Town hall provided a magnificent backdrop for the event. Nandos were generously catered for the dinner and were enthusiastic participants throughout the whole evening. Jonathon Welsh delivered a roof shaking and stirring performance. Jeanette Tamplin and Gordon Briddock also charmed us with their music and vocals. Cath McKinney spoke about the many forms and significance of giving.

….but the success of the evening must also be attributed to the energy and buzz created by the guests. The outcome has been a greater interest and awareness in the work of St Kilda Gatehouse – as well as additional funds and donations.

A big thank you to all who participated. And a particular note of gratitude to the women who shared their experiences from St Kilda Gatehouse and to the key players who worked tirelessly to make the night happen: Anita Wight and her team of volunteers, Katrina McArdle, Nick Garofalo and Paul Coory.
