In our first video podcast, we speak to Lucas Patchett, co-founder of Orange Sky, a Brisbane based non-for-profit organisation helping the homeless population across Australia and more recently, New Zealand by providing free laundry & shower services and meaningful connections with extraordinary volunteers who now number in the thousands.
Lucas won the Young Australian of the Year award in 2016 together with his fellow co-founder and friend Nic Marchesi, with the duo continuing to achieve remarkable feats providing disaster relief, positive social impact and crucial support to remote communities in times of need.
In this Open Minds podcast Lucas provides a fundamental perspective that many of us have perhaps overlooked during this pandemic period and that is; although many of us are struggling with self-isolation, at least most of us have a roof over our heads from which to self-isolate in. All too often are the marginalised people forgotten and abandoned in times of crisis. Orange Sky has become a beacon of inspiration in regards to what is possible when the community connects and comes together to help those in need.
