We recently had Lisa Clark present at our meeting talking about
Backpack Beds for the Homeless.
A very impressive initiative that was undertaken by recognising a need and then going on to design a product to fill this need.
Almost 35,000 Backpack Beds have been provided to the homeless across 8 countries and with over 750 homeless agencies across Australia provide Backpack Beds to street sleeping homeless people in need.
