The organisation was established in 2007 to help young people break the cycle of homelessness and give them the tools to take control of their lives.

Across Australia, 36,000 young people go to bed each night homeless and between 2011 and 2016 there was an increase of 14 percent. However, homelessness isn't what people would typically think it is.

Bonnici has been involved in a number of workshops including fitness, cooking workshops and one recently where homeless youth were able to get haircuts, for some it was the first they have had in years but overall she also wants to get the word out there about what homelessness is.

"I think so many people think homelessness is living on the street and that is not the case, it is so much more," Bonnici said.

"It's couch surfing, it's not knowing where you're going to stay the night, it's not having a steady place to live," she said.

Being an athlete at the highest level has not only allowed Bonnici to do what she loves but she can also have a platform to tell people about her other passions in life.

"We have so many girls who are passionate about this sort of stuff, it really gives us an opportunity to step out and express ourselves and speak about all these important matters in the world," she said.
