Dozens of children have benefited from a good night’s sleep and subsequent improvement in their school performance thanks to a charity that has donated hundreds of beds to families in the run-up to Christmas.
Last year, The Independent’s Christmas appeal bought more than 900 beds for children with the support of our readers, who raised more than £150,000 for the Leeds-based organisation Zarach in just four weeks. Nearly 1 million children live in accommodation without access to a bed, with many sleeping on the floor.
