Give to someone in need

P, who is married with one dependent child, is living in a mortgaged property. He is currently claiming Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, and his partner is claiming Carers Allowance. The family's front door has been broken for months; the door will shut, but will not latch or lock, leaving them in a dangerous position as anyone could walk in at any time. They need help with funding a new door. We have applied to other charities and received £600 towards the cost. If you would kindly support P with £200, his family can pay the remaining costs.
Still £200 left to donate

Unfortunately, while she was in rehab, her house was repossessed and she lost all her belongings. Mum is currently awaiting her Universal Credit claim to be processed, but in the mean time we are seeking support to get her some basic food and clothing to tide her over until her emergency payment comes through.
Still £145 left to donate
