CITYPAK UK -
Purpose-Built Rucksacks for People Experiencing Homelessness
In Partnership with Samsonite - Built to Last, Designed with Purpose
Our exclusive partnership with Samsonite ensures that every CITYPAK rucksack is engineered for durability, comfort, and protection from the elements. Made from high-grade ballistic nylon and designed with input from those with lived experience rough sleeping, each PAK features anti-theft webbing loops, waterproof compartments, reflective safety strips, and an integrated rain poncho that covers both the person and the bag.
These aren’t ordinary rucksacks—they’re practical, thoughtful tools for everyday survival. And because they’re built by Samsonite, they carry the same standard of quality trusted by travelers around the world.
Everyone deserves the dignity of carrying their belongings safely and securely. This holiday season, CITYPAK brings our mission to the UK —providing purpose-built rucksacks to people experiencing homelessness through partnerships with local London charities, community organizations, and our global manufacturing partner, Samsonite.
Together, we’re making life a little easier for those navigating life without a home.
Dignity, Safety, and Hope - The CITYPAK Mission
At CITYPAK, we believe that dignity isn’t a luxury—it’s a right. Every PAK we distribute is more than a bag; it’s a symbol of care, resilience, and shared humanity. Since our founding in Chicago, we’ve delivered over 120,000 CITYPAKs across more than 200 cities worldwide, each one designed to meet the needs of life on the move.
As we expand to London, our focus remains the same: helping people carry what matters most—with dignity, safety, and hope.
Supporting London’s Frontline Nonprofits
The heart of CITYPAK lies in collaboration. In London, we work alongside community outreach programs, shelters, and service providers who understand the city’s unique challenges. These frontline organizations help us identify where CITYPAKs can have the greatest impact—ensuring that every rucksack reaches someone who truly needs it.
By partnering with trusted local nonprofits, CITYPAK strengthens existing networks of support across London—fostering connection, compassion, and care for those facing housing insecurity.
