Halfway there! Your generosity buys beds for 262 children
A charity aiming to provide 500 beds to the most impoverished children by Christmas has reached the halfway point in its appeal backed by The Independent.
In just three days since our appeal with Zarach launched, generous readers have helped raise more than £47,000, which means 262 children will get a bed this Christmas.
Our appeal comes as a recent report by children’s charity Barnardo’s revealed that an estimated 894,000 children, or 11 per cent, are without a proper bed in the UK.
