CPBB (Convertible Park Bench Bed)

Geelong Social Innovators 2025

By Maddie, Chloe, Ruby, Harry

Homelessness is an ongoing issue affecting the community, and CPBB offers a simple yet powerful solution. A park bench that seamlessly transforms into a secure, sheltered bed at night, providing warmth and safety for those in need. At the press of a button, a lightweight and flexible fibreglass creates a hood over the bench making it private and warm.  The material also allows for easy breathing. By offering a practical and dignified sleeping solution, CPBB helps reduce the number of people sleeping on the streets, fostering community support and connectedness.

As an initial step this group will create stickers with a list of resources that homeless people can access for support that they will stick in local phoneboxes that can be used for free to call and access these resources.
