Sleep Action says it will close Scotland’s national Sleep Support Line in March 2027 unless additional funding is secured. The charity warns the service is vital for families dealing with children’s sleep problems, and that its withdrawal would leave a gap in accessible telephone support.
According to multiple reports, the Sleep Support Line currently helps an estimated 700 families each year. Both outlets frame the announcement as the result of a funding crisis facing the charity, rather than a change in demand or service usage. The coverage focuses on the potential impact on families who rely on the helpline as a first point of contact for guidance, advice, and support.
While both sources report the same expected closure date and the approximate number of families affected annually, they emphasize the urgency from the charity’s perspective, calling attention to the need for new funding to maintain the service through to 2027. No alternative provider or replacement service is reported in the provided summaries.
