National charity Backpack Bed for Homeless was awarded the 2011 Australian Human Rights Award. 
Yet, despite our global awards and written requests from over 800 homeless agencies applauding the Backpack Bed program – the charity has no Government funding.  

Tax deductible life-saving Backpack Beds are a $110 donation 
Tax deductible Fire Retardant Sleeping Bags are a $35 donation

When homeless people don't have shelters, the study proven Backpack Bed gives both dignity and life-saving outdoor protection from the cold and rain. 
Continually growing we partner with over 800 homeless agencies across Australia. 49,200 Aussies sleep on our streets each year across Australia. 

The demand for the Backpack Bed & Fire Retardant Sleeping Bags continues to exceed our fundraising each year.
