This young man has been referred to the St Vincent de Paul team after serving time in prison. Prior to his incarceration, he endured the loss of both parents, which has deeply affected him. Currently, this young man experiences sleep disturbances and frequent crying spells as he copes with his past traumas. We are seeking your support to provide him with bereavement counselling and to purchase a running kit, which has served as a source of solace for him amidst his grief.

Total needed £200This individual, who has been referred to our organisation, is facing significant mental health challenges. He urgently needs support in obtaining a printer and an iPad to aid in accessing identification documents and conducting job searches. We kindly request your assistance in procuring these items, as they are vital for fostering independence, enabling him to secure employment and maintain self-sustainability.
Still £140 left to donate
Total needed £200This family regrettably missed an appointment with the Home Office, leading to the withdrawal of their asylum claim. Although the council offered housing for the parents and two younger siblings, the two older girls were considered non-vulnerable and did not receive assistance. It's distressing to envision these girls facing the prospect of homelessness. We urgently seek your help in providing housing for this young girl for four nights while the necessary steps are taken.
