With the number of homeless people in Australia growing at a faster rate than the overall population, the nation’s support services are under significant strain. How is On My Feet, a charity that organises walking and running groups, helping to tackle this mounting crisis?

Homelessness charity Depaul UK is using Spotify playlists to tell the stories of British teens who have experienced homelessness. With 103,000 young people in the UK living on the streets, the charity hopes to connect with a younger audience on a platform they're more emotionally invested in.

With over one in four living paycheque to paycheque, Gen Yers Down Under are struggling to manage their money. Hoping to offer this generation a more seamless way to spend, Afterpay is an online and offline payment provider that lets Aussies buy now, and pay in four fortnightly instalments.

Why can’t Gen Y budget? And how is comparison culture fuelling bad credit? Canvas8 spoke with Melissa Browne, author of Unf*ck Your Finances, to discuss Australian Gen X and Y’s spending trends, their unhealthy relationship with money and how they can take control of their finances.
