About our Project
The Portable Bed Project is a Not for Profitable Gain Organization
Our primary aim is to ‘get people off the ground’ while living on the streets and we do this by supplying light weight portable camp beds. Being homeless and living on the streets means you will be moved on by law enforcement and council regulators, but knowing someone has your back and you have
‘A bed wherever you go’ can make the world of difference. We also gather donated items from community support such as toiletries, clothing, blankets and hit the streets with an Outreach approach to connect with people on a grass root level and supply them with what we all take for granted every day. We also supply other services such as
‘The Outpost’ in Geelong and ‘Youth Projects’ in Hosier Lane, Melbourne with supplies. We started on 26th of May 2016 when a Melbourne city community of street sleepers got washed out in torrential rains and Steven Neville
(The founder) was asked “how can we get them off the ground”
The idea came as there were unused camp stretchers in the shed and once remembering about them while in thought of a solution,
the answer was clear. They were cleaned up, packed into the car, taken to the CBD,
met with total appreciation and then….
‘The Portable Bed Project’ was born. We now have bigger dreams and plans of how we can better help our friends on the streets.
‘The Compassion Van’
Is a service where a team of trained Volunteers will hit the streets, each with a different service
A hairdresser, A registered nurse, A crisis councillor are just some of the plans I see to implement in the short-term future.
‘The Portable Shower Project’
Self-explanatory, and much needed in the Geelong Area.
