Hundreds of children have been helped on their way to having a bed of their own after a bedroom supplier got behind a charity campaign.
Stafford-based Wholesale Beds has lent its support to Emmaus North Staffs’s Beds for Kids campaign by sponsoring brand new children’s bed frame.
Since January, more than 300 single bed frames and bunks have been received by the North Staffordshire charity.
Calvin Fullwood, a director at Wholesale Beds, said: “As a trade supplier in Staffordshire, we feel a deep responsibility to support our local community.
“We take great pride in the strength and design of our bed frames, and there is no better use for our products than ensuring a child has a safe, comfortable place to sleep.
“When I heard about Emmaus North Staffs Beds for Kids campaign, I could not believe how many children are without their own bed, therefore we are delighted to commit our resources to the charity for the foreseeable future to help towards ending furniture poverty in our region.”
Beds for Kids was launched in 2022, and is an ongoing campaign where brand new beds, mattresses and bedding are providing to families whose children do not have a bed of their own.
Since launching the campaign more than 1,400 brand new bed bundles have been delivered to local families.
John Webbe, executive lead of Emmaus North Staffs, added: “Our mission is to help local residents overcome furniture poverty, and our Beds for Kids campaign is a cornerstone of that work.
“We see firsthand the incredible difference a bed makes – not just for a child’s sleep and health, but for their education and overall well-being.
“Having the long-term support of a specialist like Wholesale Beds ensures we can continue to meet the demand and provide high-quality, durable frames to the families who need them most.”
