WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children s bed charity. We are on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night s sleep and the chance to thrive at school.

In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has enabled us to deliver over 16,000 bed bundles to children to date.
