Dreams for Hope

03/07/2026

We are delighted to announce that we have received a very generous £7,000 grant from the Netherby Trust Fund, facilitated by Community Foundation for Surrey. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to the board of The Netherby Trust and the grant making team at Community Foundation for Surrey for their kindness and belief in our work.
As a small charity, grants such as these are invaluable and we feel both honoured and privileged to have been selected as one of their beneficiaries this year.
Their financial support will have a direct and lasting impact on some of the most vulnerable families in our communities, ensuring that children have a safe, comfortable and dignified place to sleep.

💚 A huge THANK YOU to Waitrose Cobham for choosing us as one of their Community Matters charities! 💚

Every single green token makes a difference. Your support helps us continue our mission to fight bed poverty by providing children across Surrey with a safe, warm, and comfortable place to sleep.

We are incredibly grateful for every person who takes a moment to pop their token into our box. It costs nothing, but it can have a life-changing impact on local children and families.

While we’re building beds, children are sleeping without one 🛌

That’s the reality of bed poverty in the UK 🇬🇧

1 in 10 children in the UK doesn’t have a bed of their own.

No child chooses to sleep on the floor.

Bed poverty is real, and this is the work we are doing behind the scenes to change it 🌟
