Xceedance Partners with Orange Sky to Support Australians Facing Homelessness
Xceedance, a global provider of insurance-focused consulting, technology, operations support and data solutions to many of the world’s largest P&C insurance organisations, today announced a new partnership with Orange Sky Australia, the world’s first free mobile laundry and shower service for people experiencing homelessness.
For more than a decade, Orange Sky has supported Australians experiencing homelessness or hardship by providing free access to laundry services, warm showers and a welcoming space for meaningful conversation and connection. Through this partnership, Xceedance will support Orange Sky’s mission to improve hygiene, health and wellbeing, positively connecting communities across Australia.
Prateek Vijayvergia, Business Leader – Key Accounts, Australia and New Zealand at Xceedance, said the organisation is proud to contribute to Orange Sky’s impactful work.
“More than 122,000 people experience homelessness on any given night in Australia – a figure that is sadly expected to rise,” Prateek said. “At Xceedance, we’re committed to delivering innovative solutions for our clients in the insurance industry and helping them protect what matters most for their customers. Partnering with Orange Sky reflects our broader commitment to supporting innovative, community-driven solutions to critical social issues.”
Partnering with Orange Sky is the latest in a growing roster of initiatives from Xceedance Australia to support important local causes. Other recent examples include the “CEO Dare to Cure” initiative from the Children’s Cancer Institute and City2Surf Sydney. As an Official Partner, Xceedance’s support will directly contribute to the delivery of essential services through their vehicles providing clean laundry, hot showers and, most importantly, genuine, non-judgmental conversations.
“In the face of a national housing crisis and soaring living costs, more Australians than ever are finding themselves without secure shelter,” Prateek added. “It’s a privilege to support Orange Sky’s mission and help create positive, lasting change in communities across the country.”
Orange Sky currently operates 64 mobile laundry and shower services across 42 locations in Australia. The not-for-profit relies on the generosity of donors, volunteers, and partners to fund and operate its services.
Orange Sky Co-Founder and CEO, Lucas Patchett said: “Orange Sky couldn’t do what we do without the support of the incredible community and partners like Xceedance. Through Xceedance’s incredible generosity, Orange Sky will be able to deliver 35 shifts, complete 208 loads of laundry, provide 139 warm showers, and – most importantly – create over 300 hours of meaningful conversation between our friends and volunteers.”
