On a single night in autumn 2023, an estimated 3,898 people were sleeping rough across England, marking a 27% increase from the previous year.

Nomad-1 will re-purpose waste tents from music festivals to create sustainable, portable shelters for rough sleepers. Folding into a backpack, the tent can be quickly assembled, without needing to be fixed to the ground. It is small enough to be pitched discretely and safely in an urban environment, yet large enough (in backpack and tent form) to accommodate the basic needs of rough sleepers.
