HELPING HOMELESS ACROSS AUSTRALIA
Backpack Bed for Homeless is a national registered charity - we help the homeless.
- We provide Backpack Beds to street sleeping homeless people without shelter - to improve their dignity, health, sleep, warmth, comfort and safety.
- 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 was awarded an Australian Human Rights Award by the Australian Human Rights Commission.
