We’re excited to announce that our Christmas campaign is officially live!
Our campaign is based around the inspiring story of Ommy, a young woman from Anchor’s Youth Foyer who has overcome her own experience with homelessness.
“I left my home because of fighting… it felt safer for me to be away from there at the time.”
“I was homeless in the city. Most of the time I wouldn’t have somewhere to go. I spent nights in the toilets at Crown and places like that.”
Having found support through Anchor’s youth homelessness services, Ommy has been able to find safe and stable accommodation and be supported by workers who help build her independence, living skills and connections to community.
“I have amazing support. I’m proud of how far I’ve come. Anchor has changed my life and helped me achieve my goals and dreams,” she says.

With around 28,000* young people experiencing homelessness on any given night in Australia, the Anchor Christmas campaign is a vital reminder of the support needed from our community, and the life-changing impact it can have on individuals like Ommy.
