£200 needed for carpet for living room and child's bedroom
C is a young single mum with a baby daughter. She has just been moved from temporary housing to permanent housing with only a few days notice.

She has also recently lost her mother so is grieving too. Please can you help?
£200 needed for a laptop
This individual has overcome significant challenges as a survivor of multiple abuses and remains committed to creating an independent future for herself. Despite current financial difficulties, she is motivated to gain employment and improve her circumstances.

£200 needed for a fridge
E has just moved into a new house without a fridge or washing machine and is in receipt of benefits. She has no savings. She is diabetic and needs to keep her medication in a fridge. She would appreciate any help towards the cost of purchasing a fridge. Thank You.
£200 needed for a cooker
This lady has experienced significant trauma as a result of prolonged domestic abuse. In February, she was forced to flee her home and was temporarily placed in hostel accommodation for her safety. She has now returned to her flat but due to the trauma associated with her previous circumstances, she did not feel able to keep any of her former belongings. A gift card for £200 for a new cooker would help her as she works hard to rebuild her life and put her past behind her. Thank you.

£200 needed for a fridge freezer
Our client and his partner have just moved into a new home after spending months staying with different family members. They are both very excited to finally have their own place. The downside is they have very little to go in the property, and with no money left after paying the bills and rent, they have no way of affording to buy large items. They are in desperate need of a fridge freezer as they have a young child and a baby and have nowhere to store food. They will be so grateful for any help.
£200 needed for a new bed and mattress
We are supporting our client with debt advice after the bank discovered he has been having his money transferred to another account by fraud. They are unsure who is doing this and the police are now involved. This has left J who is very vulnerable without any money at all until he gets his benefits at the end of the month. While we were talking to him, he told us he is sleeping in his armchair as his bed is old and broken. He has not slept in a bed for months. Please could you help? Thank you!
£200 needed for gas, electric and a food voucher.
Our client has lived with her friend for over ten years. They have always shared the bills but sadly her friend has passed away. L can no longer live in the house as her friend's children have inherited the house and are evicting her. Whilst she has been waiting to move she has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We have supported her with applying for disability benefits but this could take a while. In the meantime L has no money to top up her meters or to buy food. She is in financial distress.
£200 needed for a washing machine
Sadly due to a relationship breakdown this family of mum and two teenage children are starting over. It wasn't a situation they ever foresaw. They have been provided with housing but it has no carpet, appliances or furniture. They are moving to a new area with no support. Mum lost her job in February and is working hard with the job centre applying for many jobs but has so far been unsuccessful in securing employment. However, she is determined in this! A washing machine is a real need for them - thank you.
