As Iran war threatens to exacerbate living costs, children’s beds have become ‘like a luxury item’, says Barnardo’s
Mr Motivator is lobbying the government to tackle the number of children in the UK who have no bed of their own as Barnardo’s reveals demand for furniture from struggling families has surged by 40% in the last year.
The children’s charity said beds had become“like a luxury item” as the war in Iran threatens to exacerbate cost of living pressures.
Meanwhile, TV and online fitness coach Mr Motivator, real name Derrick Evans, who lives in Greater Manchester, is urging government to treat “bed poverty” as a national crisis and include it in child poverty planning.
The former GMTV star said: “I have always hated the fact that it’s merged into poverty in general, which means it gets lost.
