It is such a relief having a washing machine again, as laundry was such a difficult task to do for those who have been supporting me. Your support has brought much ease for me and those supporting me, and I am very grateful.

£200 needed for a washing machine
The client G was able to chat to me but had a lot of difficulty with being able to see any information. He told me he is longingly waiting for cataract surgery this month on both eyes. The client is long term disabled and stopped working seven years ago due to Hemiparesis. He receives Universal Credit and has been given advice to apply for a Personal Independence Payment. A washing machine would be a great encouragement for him and a huge benefit in terms of his current physical needs. Thanks
£200 needed for carpets
X is a father with a young child on benefits. This person is disabled and unable to work. When they moved into their property they had no carpets. We'd love to help them get flooring in the property to make it suitable for them and their young family. Thank you for considering this request.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
T is a recovering alcoholic who was street homeless after fleeing a violent relationship. She has been clean for over 6 months and is fully engaging with support services to get her life back on track. T is desperate for a chance to live a normal life. She has now been granted her own home but sadly it isn't carpeted. Her only income is from benefits and simply can't afford to carpet the property. We can provide her with carpets free of charge if a kind donor will help us fit them. Thank you for reading.
£200 needed for a second hand bike, new lock and helmet
N lost a bike after an ex-housemate stole it. N's income is Universal Credit and he doesn't have money to replace it. N would like a bike to allow him to get around the city where he lives, to visit friends for vital social and emotional support, to go to language classes and groups and to green spaces to help his mental health. Public transport is unaffordable and a bike will allow him greater freedom to access more opportunities without having to spend money and will help him feel more at home in his city.
£145 needed for a table and kitchen utensils
This gentleman has come into contact with us at Christians Against Poverty for help with his financial situation. He was recently evicted due to a house repossession and now finds himself without basic furniture/households items. He is currently in need of a new table and basic kitchen utensils. Due to low income and unmanageable debt he cannot afford these. We would be grateful to receive some funding to purchase these items for him. Thank you in advance.
£180 needed for the supply and fitting of carpets for a bedroom
We are supporting a gentleman who has worked hard to turn his life around after many difficult years. He has now remained out of prison for over three years and is doing well. We are helping with food parcels and other support. He now has a one-bedroom flat, which is a positive step forward. Although he receives benefits, he is struggling to obtain some of the basic items needed to make his new flat into a home. In particular, he needs carpets. Praying that our kind and generous donors can help.
£160 needed for a new oven
Our client is a 61 year old person living alone. They have severe mental health issues that makes them suspicious of everyone. They live daily in fear of being taken advantage of and being scammed. They struggle to communicate and hold a conversation without veering off at a tangent. They are on benefits and have debt. Their oven has broken resulting in limited cooking facilities. A new oven would help their overall health by broadening their diet.
