Cruise For A Cause - Because Home Matters
About this Event
Join Q Shelter for a special evening aboard YOT Club, and enjoy great food, meaningful connections and beautiful views as you cruise the Brisbane River, all while supporting an important cause.
Cruise for a Cause will bring together leaders from across Queensland’s corporate, housing and community sectors. You'll enjoy a memorable evening of networking and conversation, whilst raising funds to support peak body Q Shelter's work in creating a healthier and more equitable housing system for Queenslanders.
Whether you are entertaining clients, bringing your team together or looking to expand your network, this is an opportunity to build relationships with people and organisations committed to solving the housing crisis and ending homelessness so that every Queenslander has a home.
At Q Shelter, we are working to ensure all Queensland individuals, families and communities have access to the safe, secure and affordable housing they need to build stable and thriving lives.

Funds raised will help Q Shelter:
· Strengthen our advocacy for safe, secure and affordable housing for all Queenslanders.
· Build greater community understanding of housing need and homelessness.
· Develop education and volunteer resources that encourage compassion, inclusion and acceptance, and that drive real change.
· Create meaningful opportunities for people with lived experience of housing need and homelessness to influence policy and service delivery.
· Advocate for evidence-based actions that prevent negative impacts on housing from mega events, including the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Home matters. Home is more than a roof over someone’s head; it is a place of belonging, security and stability that people need to be able to thrive. Together, we can create a Queensland where everyone has a home.
