Street Swags
Street Swags save the lives of our most vulnerable. Swags are basic bed & shelter for our homeless Australians sleeping rough, giving them the fighting chance they deserve.

A bag with room for extra belongings, the Street Swag is made of high-quality Australian canvas that is mildew resistant and breathable. The Street Swag also has a foam mattress. Designed for those living on the streets, its discreet appearance and camouflage colours offer warmth, comfort and safety to those who need to be invisible. 

The Street Swags are made by Australian prisoners who gain qualifications and skills, improving their chances of employment after incarceration and helping to break the cycle of poverty, crime and homelessness. The swags are then rolled and packed by school children who learn about giving back to the community. Hundreds of homelessness services across Australia distribute them directly to those that need them most.

Street swags are incredibly important while someone is looking for accommodation. Over 120,000 people are homeless on any given night in Australia. Over 55% of all people are turned away while looking for immediate accommodation and over 80% of families are turned away. 

A Street Swag can save a homeless person's life when it's cold or wet outside.
