Our Story
SleepSafe is a non-profit initiative by Sheridan and StreetSmart, raising much needed funds to help support those without a safe and secure place to call home.
SleepSafe supports grassroots, community-based organisations by providing localised grants to shelters and vulnerable support services. We believe that housing is a basic human right and raising funds for local emergency accommodation services and bedding products is integral to ensuring that all Australians have a safe place to sleep.
When you donate to SleepSafe, you're contributing towards a sleep kit - containing a towel, sheet set, and pillowcase. All sleep kits will be sent to frontline community partners that need them most, providing financial relief and allowing for funding and donations to be diverted to other areas of need.
"At Sheridan, we've seen time and time again how transformative true rest can be on an individual. But not everyone is lucky enough to have somewhere safe to sleep — which is why this initiative is so important. Together with StreetSmart, the simple comforts of home are provided to tens of thousands across the country — while providing support to community organisations doing important work."
- Holli Borchak
General Manager, Sheridan
Sleep Kit
HOW YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Every $15 raised helps to provide sleep kit to someone in need. Each sleep kit contains one towel and one sheet set — a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcase.
Sleep kits are manufactured in partnership with Sheridan suppliers. StreetSmart works closely with frontline community partners, ensuring kits are distributed where they’re needed most. Not only does this provide financial relief, it also allows for funding and donations to be diverted to other areas of need.

Messages of gratitude from some of the frontline community partners who have received sleep kits
"SleepSafe has been a beacon of hope for those who have faced homelessness due to domestic violence or crisis. These kits not only offer physical comfort but also symbolise the fresh start and renewed hope that we aim to provide to those in need. Their ongoing contributions have made a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community, and we are endlessly grateful to Sheridan"
