READING:

A charity said more than a million children in the UK live in 'Bed poverty'. This means they have no bed. Around 700,000 children share beds, and 440,000 sleep on the floor. The charity said bed poverty is because people are poorer because the cost of living has increased. Food, gas and electricity are more expensive. Even a bed is now a "luxury" item for poorer people. Having no bed means children are tired and cannot concentrate at school.

Bed poverty shows that many people in Britain are struggling. It is an example of child poverty. Parents have painful challenges. They do not have enough money to buy things to keep their children healthy. Many families have to choose between heating and eating. They cannot fix a broken bed. Bed poverty is affecting children's mental health. The charity asked the government to take "urgent action" to fix these "deep-rooted issues".
