£200 needed for a washing machine
S has recently arrived in the UK on a spouse visa. Despite securing accommodation, she lacks essential household appliances and urgently requires a washing machine. S is ineligible for public funds and her partner is in low income. Compounded by his inability to work, due to a stroke, this leaves them financially strained. Your assistance in acquiring a washing machine would greatly alleviate their hardship and improve their quality of life.
£150 needed for five driving lessons
H is a young man who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He came to us with debts of around £5K which occurred when he was being moved from one property to another. He is now debt free, thanks to a Debt Relief Order. H has been working with his work coach towards returning to employment. He was given some money for driving lessons to enable him to look for work in a wider area, but needs a few more lessons before he re-takes his test. £150 would purchase five lessons for him so he has the best chance of passing his next test.
£185 needed for a washing machine
N has severe mental health issues as well as epilepsy, and is struggling to attend his Job Centre appointments, as the anxiety is crippling him. He has been sanctioned, as a result of this, for a few months and is without any income. We are helping him practically, but he has no money for a laundrette and it would make so much difference to him if we were able to get him a washing machine. Please could you help us with this? Thank you!

This single parent has three children, aged six, three and six months old. All three have severe lactose intolerance which limits food choices. The baby's conditions is the most severe. Mum needs help buying alternative dairy free milk and foods which are more expensive, especially in school holidays. She has asked for a hand blender to prepare food for the baby from the family meal, so that she can be sure it is safe for him.

£200 needed for accommodation

We kindly request your help to put this gentleman in a bed and breakfast for four nights whilst we collaborate with partner agencies to organise a more permanent housing option and a mental health solution.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
Our client, a single parent with two teenage children, has mental health struggles. Mum heavily relies on her fridge freezer so she can buy and store reduced foods from the supermarket, but also so she can batch cook and freeze meals for her hungry teenagers. Mum is on Universal Credit and her fridge freezer broke recently. She is still using the fridge part as a larder, but now the food can't be kept for long.
£90 needed for a dual air fryer
This pensioner is struggling to use her oven, as it's too low for her to reach and it's not working as efficiently as it used to. She would ideally like to replace it with a dual air fryer, which would be a safer height for her cook with and more cost effective for her. However, this pensioner does not have the funds to buy one for herself.
