Over 1 in 10 children in the UK live in bed poverty - sleeping on floors, sofas, or sharing beds. Every child deserves to sleep with dignity, that's why our partnership with @simbasleep is so important. Learn more about Dreamspace here:

It's absolutely shocking to hear that a quarter of parents are having to skip meals or cut back on heating their homes just to afford to buy their children a school uniform. Watch the video from @GMB below to learn more 👇.
A quarter of parents are having to cut back on eating or heating in order to pay for school uniforms, a new survey has found, with many running up credit card and loan debt to afford the expensive, branded items. @katyrickitt has more.

Brilliant campaign by @barnardos ! While many families are getting ready for a fun-filled summer, at Buttle UK, we see weeks of stress, isolation, and a stark reminder of what these families are missing.
“Wish I was there.”🏖️.Too many children are missing out on summer. Our CEO @lynnanneperry said: “Parents want to give their children summer memories, but many are just trying to survive.”.We joined with youth ambassadors & @sandinyoureye to make their voices heard & stories seen.
