Poor sleep can exacerbate various physical and mental health conditions, making it increasingly difficult for a child to concentrate at school.

In recent years, AberNecessities has experienced a staggering 900% increase in applications from families struggling to provide basic essentials. We have received numerous referrals from healthcare professionals seeking bed and mattress donations for children who are sleeping on broken or unsuitable beds, sharing with parents or siblings, or, in some cases, sleeping on the floor.

This dire situation is why we launch our annual campaign, “No Child Should Go Without Sweet Dreams." The goal is to raise funds for beds, mattresses, duvets, pillows, bedding, and cosy extras such as pyjamas, fluffy socks, storybooks, teddy bears, and fleeced blankets, ensuring that every child has a warm and safe place to rest their head.
