Story

Poor sleep can exacerbate a number of both physical and mental health conditions and make it even more difficult for a child to concentrate at school. Since the pandemic we have seen a 900% increase in applications from families who are struggling to provide the basic essentials. And now, the frightening increase in the cost of living has put even more people at financial disadvantage and it is heart-breaking that so many parents simply cannot tuck their children into a warm bed at night. For many, the nightly bedtime routine of bubble baths and story books before wishing their children good night is commonplace, sadly however, many other parents can only offer a shared bed, a sofa or a mattress on the floor, which is simply devasting.
