Bed poverty exists when a family doesn’t have the sleeping arrangements they need for their children due to a lack of financial resources. For children in this situation, it has a significant impact on their education. Zarach’s mission to ensure that every child in England has a bed of their own gives them a greater chance to learn and succeed at school.
Zarach is a national charity committed to helping vulnerable children and families living in poverty. We work closely with schools and professionals in the community. We see the challenges of poverty every day. We aim to reach out to families within 48 hours of their school referral. We are passionate and driven to make an immediate and real difference to a child’s life.
At the point of delivering beds and bundles to children, we are helping to lift them out of bed poverty in that instant. This incredible act removes a mountain of cost for a family and can last for many years. A bed provided to a child as they start school could last them their whole primary school journey. This massively improves their opportunity to engage at school and supports their physical, emotional, and learning development.
Join our mission to end child bed poverty in England, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and a chance to break the cycle of poverty.
