We aim to provide access to high quality information and advice to deal with most sleep issues, and ensure everyone understands the value of a good night’s sleep. We also campaign for improvements to the support available as well as providing accredited training for professionals so they can offer sleep support to the people they work with.

We do this by working collaboratively, lobbying government, investing in research, building partnerships with organisations and offering a range of services including working directly with parents, offering workshops/webinars to corporate organisations and training professionals in the NHS and other health organisations.
All our work is based on the latest research and we have a team of experts who input into our projects, training materials and courses.
