HELPING HOMELESS ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Backpack Bed for Homeless is a national registered charity (Swags for Homeless Ltd) - we help the homeless.
Your donation makes an impact - our charity is not government funded, people like you make a difference.

• In 2011-22 over 81,000 requests for accommodation from homeless people across Australia could not be met.**
• This year over 45,800 Aussies will sleep on the street.*
• We provide Backpack Beds to street sleeping homeless people without shelter - to improve their dignity, health, sleep, warmth, comfort and safety. The Backpack Bed provides shelter and a bag for belongings to save lives of homeless on the street.
• Our Sleeping Bag Hypothermia Packs help homeless people on the streets, in cars and sleeping on couches.
• We partner with over 800 Homeless Agencies across Australia, both big and small, to distribute this life saving assistance including The Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul, Orange Sky plus many more.
• These partnerships provide both immediate assistance and connect homeless people with their local homeless service.

Our work as a Homeless Charity organisation was awarded an Australian Human Rights Award by the Australian Human Rights Commission.
