Q &A A QUICK CHAT WITH...

Lucas Patchett CO-FOUNDER ORANGE SKY TELL US WHERE YOU’RE FROM AND WHAT BRINGS YOU TO BYRON. Born in Sydney, been a Brissie boy for 20 years. My best mate, Nic and I took our first van into the streets there, and met locals doing it tough. Five years later, we’re rolling out our 31st Orange Sky van in the Northern Rivers. There are more than 1, 500 locals experiencing homelessness every night in the region and we're pleased that Orange Sky and our volunteers can provide support. WHERE DID THE NAME “ORANGE SKY” COME FROM? ‘Orange Sky’ was a song written by Alexi Murdoch, a British singersongwriter. It speaks about solidarity and dreaming of a better way of supporting the community. Nic and I loved the song, the message, the colour orange, and it all kind of stuck. We also aren’t religiously or politically associated, so needed a name to reflect that. WHO OR WHAT IS “DON”? Don is our van. He is big, orange, filled with two washing machines, two dryers and a warm shower, and is ready to support the Northern Rivers community. He is a much improved version of Sudsy - our very first van - as he has his own power and water supply and doesn’t break down every few weeks! COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE – “I LOVE …. learning, having fun and helping people” IF YOU WENT TO A FANCY-DRESS PARTY, WHO WOULD YOU GO AS, AND WHY? The last dress-up party I went to was for Halloween. I went as Clarke Kent as I had a Superman shirt and it seemed like the easiest thing to do. I live in my Orange Sky shirt most days of the year, so anything that’s not bright orange feels like a dress-up to me! HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE LOOKOUT FOR BYRON’S BRUSH TURKEYS, AS THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO RUN OFF WITH THE LAUNDRY? We have a super dedicated team of volunteers who take amazing care of our friends’ laundry – I’d be very surprised if a brush turkey was able to get away with anything!
