Sleep Pods are an emergency aid for rough sleepers in severe weather conditions. They are built to protect rough sleepers in the UK and refugees in Europe. They are designed to help keep people warm and dry.

Co-founder of the Sleep Pod Project, Pete Kenyon:
“We have created an emergency aid for rough sleepers, sleeping out in severe, cold and wet weather conditions.”

The Sleep Pods are built as a short-term solution for rough sleepers to help them through the night, helping to keep them warm and dry. The Sleep Pod team strongly believe in helping to protect rough sleepers by working in partnership with homeless charities and outreach teams encouraging rough sleepers to access their local homeless support services. The homeless support services provide a key service, helping rough sleepers get access to suitable accommodation, support with finding work and motivating people’s personal recovery.

Sleep Pods can never make sleeping outside safe, however our hope is that they can offer some meaningful protection from the elements to help rough sleepers through the night. As an organisation we look forward to the day that Sleep Pods are not required. Until then we aim to keep providing them to those most in need of our help.

“We have aligned ourselves with groups offering much needed support to rough sleepers.” Justin Devereux,
Co-founder of the Sleep Pod Project.

We were founded in April 2018. We have since built 10,000 Sleep Pods which have been distributed to charities and organisations working with the homeless on the streets in Birmingham, Bolton, Bristol, Northampton, Sheffield, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and more. We have formed strong partnerships with organisations working to support refugees by distributing Sleep Pods for refugees in Paris, Calais and Dunkirk.

Sleep Pod is a registered charity, charity number 1187295.
