Abstract
The Bidfood Education team took part in 24 sports in 24 hours to raise money for the charity Zarach, who provide mattresses, bedding and food for families living in poverty.
There are 4.3 million children living in poverty in the UK and 10% of these children do not have a bed to sleep on and some are living on cold tile floors.
The charity was set up by Bex Wilson who is an assistant deputy headteacher at a primary school in Leeds who became more and more concerned about the welfare of children arriving to school with agitation, lack of energy and some with bites.
The “24 in 24 Challenge” team consist of:
- Marr Carr
- Tom Emsley
- Graham Macey
- Greg Newcombe
- Miguel Nunes
- Gavin Squires
At this moment in time Bidfood has raised £8,630 v the target of £10,000. If you are interested in donating, visit here.
