My client is a single man who was previously homeless and subject to a violent attack. His subsequent physical and mental health problems mean he is not able to work and he is living on a low income. My client is relying on electric heaters to heat his home, dry his clothes and reduce the damp in his flat. However, he is struggling to afford to keep his electricity meter topped up. Providing a dehumidifier would help reduce the damp and dry his clothes at a lower cost.

Mum is a single parent of three children under five years old. The family has moved to a new property where there is no cooker and she has limited finances. Mum suffers with poor mental health and has recently been physically unwell. The family is isolated and mum is struggling to manage the meal times with no cooker. There is a separate Acts 435 request to cover the cost of the gas cooker. This request is for the installation and delivery costs. Please could you help? Thank you.

This student, who attends our food pantry, shared that she does not have an oven or hob to cook with. She is currently living in a small place with a kitchen that is too small for a normal size oven. Due to being an Open University student, the benefits she receives are very low. We have helped top-up the gas and electricity. We have enquired about family help and have discovered that there is no immediate extended family to help. Please can you help this student to get a mini oven?

This client came to us for support after living in his friend's car for the past three months. After engaging with our services and making massive steps forward, we were able to help find suitable supported accommodation for the client. Now, just ten day before he moves in, he is no longer able to stay in his friend's car and risks having to sleep rough. We believe this may be a negative trigger and undo the work he has done. This support would keep him warm and safe for the next ten nights.

This client was referred to us by a partner agency after they managed to source accommodation for him, following him being homeless for the past six months. We have managed to help support this client with decoration and furniture, but he is still in desperate need of a fridge and washing machine. We have managed to source a package deal from a local second-hand shop, but unfortunately, due to low income and debt, he is unable to buy these items. Your support would help him to turn his house into a home and settle in.

This single mum is caring for her two children and her daughter was recently returned to her care, following a period of time in foster care. The family has recently moved and mum is working really hard to make the house into a home. The family doesn't have a washing machine and mum, who is struggling financially, is relying on friends to keep on top of her and her children's clothes. Please could you help to provide a washing machine for the family as they make a fresh start? Thank you.
