Leeds-based Zarach has helped 5,000 families as it reaches its fifth anniversary.
A charity which has handed out 5,000 beds to children with nowhere to sleep has vowed to stamp out bed poverty in the UK.
Since then the Leeds-based charity has grown with the ultimate aim of eradicating bed poverty completely.The 36-year-old said when she found out her pupil had nowhere to sleep, she was unaware bed poverty was an issue.Charity founder Bex Wilson praised her staff and volunteers for helping out families
"But the truth is they're expensive. It's unhygienic to buy a second hand mattress and if you're a family say fleeing domestic violence and moving quickly, then often you're just living in a shell with no furniture." "I say all the time, if children come to us with a full tummy and a good night's sleep, we can work wonders with them in the classroom but if those two things aren't there, it's really difficult to help a child learn."
