Kate Stone and Ivan Sun from Castlemaine Theatre Company - 13 May 2026

We caught up with Chris Dalton last year about Bendigo Winter Night Shelter and, with their CEO Sleepout Event coming up on 27th May we thought it an opportune time to get an update on their progress in supporting people who are homeless at this time of year in our community. It was heartening to hear how much they have been able to grow the viability of their work, and also how many people have been volunteering to support their work.
To learn more about Bendigo Winter Night Shelter, and to see how you can be involved, you can go to their website at https://www.bwns.org.au/ or follow them on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/bendigowinternightshelter
