At Lotus People, we believe in taking steps – not just in our recruitment efforts, but also in making a difference in the community.

On May 10th, some members of our team took on a big challenge of walking 46kms in one day for Stepping Stone House, an organisation dedicated to reducing youth homelessness rates in Australia. With every step, we aimed to raise awareness and funds for the growing number of young people experiencing homelessness in the country. 

The statistics are staggering, nearly 46,000 individuals under the age of 25 are currently homeless or at risk of homelessness. Stepping Stone House works tirelessly to provide essential care, accommodation, and development opportunities to these vulnerable youth – and for over 6 years, we at Lotus People have proudly supported their cause, recognising the importance of this mission. 

To show support, our team took part in the Step by Step May challenge by walking a total of 46kms in 10 hours, taking over 57,000 steps. But our commitment didn’t stop at walking – we also set a fundraising goal of $4,000 as a team, for a profound impact. It can provide essential school supplies for eight young people for an entire year or cover 47 weeks of groceries for a young person in residential care. Every dollar goes towards Stepping Stone House’s goal of eliminating youth homelessness in Australia. 

We extend our gratitude to Stepping Stone House for their mission, as well as to everyone who supported our team on this journey, whether through donations, words of encouragement, or simply by spreading the word about the challenge! 

Your support makes a real difference in the lives of vulnerable young people, offering them hope and opportunity where it’s needed most. 

And for those who still wish to get involved, it’s not too late! Step by Step: The 46km Challenge continues throughout May, offering everyone the chance to make a difference in their own way.
