What does real dignity look like when someone has nowhere to sleep?

In this episode of Unpacked, Steven Miles and Corinne Mulholland sit down with OrangeSky CEO Lucas Patchett to explore how a simple idea — two mates, a van and a washing machine — grew into a national organisation supporting Australia’s most vulnerable.

Lucas shares:

• The origins of OrangeSky and the moments that shaped its mission

• Why clean clothes, a warm shower and conversation can change lives

• How OrangeSky supports people sleeping rough and steps up during natural disasters

• The importance of human connection in tackling homelessness

• What still needs to change in Australia’s approach to housing and homelessness

It’s a powerful, hopeful conversation about compassion, community and meeting people where they are.
