A good night's sleep is not only a comfort but a fundamental requirement for the well-being of children. It directly impacts their physical and mental health and is crucial for their ability to focus and learn at school. We have seen an alarming increase in applications from families who are struggling to provide even the most basic essentials due to the ever-worsening cost of living crisis. This includes children who lack the essentials for a proper sleep environment. Many children are sleeping on broken, unfit beds, sharing cramped spaces with family members, or, in some heartbreaking cases, sleeping on the floor with nothing more than a sheet for warmth.

The lack of quality sleep can exacerbate a range of both physical and mental health conditions and significantly impede a child's ability to concentrate at school. Every child deserves a warm and safe place to rest their head, and it is our mission to make this a reality.

In response to this pressing issue, our annual Sweet Dreams campaign aims to raise essential funding to provide children with the most vital sleep essentials. Our goal is to offer them not only a comfortable bed and mattress but also the warmth and comfort of duvets, pillows, bedding, and cosy extras like pyjamas, fluffy socks, storybooks, teddy bears, and hot water bottles.

What We Offer:

• Beds and Mattresses: We aim to ensure every child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
• Snug as a Bug Bundle: We provide the necessary bedding and sleep essentials, including duvets, pillows, and cosy extras that make bedtime a comforting and cherished routine.
• Health and Well-being: By addressing the sleep needs of these children, we contribute to their physical and mental well-being, making it easier for them to thrive at school and in life.

Your support for our Sweet Dreams' campaign not only ensures children across our city and shire have the opportunity for a good night's sleep, but you are helping them to succeed academically, stay healthy, and build a brighter future.
