N is being supported to deal with her hoarding issues. Her small flat has been tidied, and N is working to keep it that way. One of the issues identified by her support workers is that when she has to dry her washing in the flat, having wet washing all over the place makes it feel to her like the mess is building up again, and that she can't keep on top of things, so your support to buy a dryer would really help with that. N has a low income and can't afford a dryer herself.
