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 - we still have no Government funding.  

Tax deductible life saving Backpack Beds are only $110 each. 

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 funding. 

Testament to the quality of the Backpack Bed - it won the worlds largest and most prestigious product design award in Germany, the 2011 Red Dot 'Best of the Best'. The Backpack Bed also won the 2011 Australian International Design Award , the Sydney Powerhouse Museum Design Award 2011, the Melbourne Design Award 2012, the Edison Award 2013 and the A'Design Award Italy 2014.
