It's meant that he can stay warm without worrying about high heating bills and without worrying about filling up a hot water bottle that's only going to warm up one small area at a time. It's safer for him as well.

£200 needed for a laptop
M, who has been living in the UK for seven months after seeking refuge from Afghanistan, is currently enjoying the opportunity to study, which she has not had before. She is studying entry level college and has applied to volunteer with Age Concern. A laptop will help with all her study for college and any training she will need to do for volunteer work. M only receives Universal Credit which covers basic living. Please can you help her access a laptop so that she can continue to help herself?
£200 needed for a cooker
M, who has been using the food bank, has just signed a lease on a new property for his two children and himself, after sofa surfing for twelve months. He is in desperate need of an electric cooker and we are hoping for your kind support. A further donation from our charity will ensure that the total cost is met, as well as installation. Thank you for all your support
£160 needed for clothes, shoes and a suitcase
R is an asylum seeker from Eritrea who had to flee her home country because her life was in danger as a result of the conflict there. She currently lives in an asylum hotel and receives less than £9 per week from the Home Office. R is in need of clothes and shoes suitable for the British weather, especially a coat. She is also in need of a suitcase as she is likely to be moved on soon and has nothing more than bin bags to carry her possessions in. We would like to buy all this for her.
£150 needed for a television
L, a refugee from Iraq who has been in our area for four years, needs support to buy a television as she moved to settled accommodation. She is still struggling with the English language, and has many physical and mental health problems, meaning she cannot work. L and her husband, who have two sons aged 11 and 7, are on a limited income and there is not much left after paying rent and essential bills. Please can you help?
£200 needed for two single beds and mattresses
This refugee family from Afghanistan has recently settled in the UK. The family consists of a single father and four children. Due to limited financial support, the family had no beds and were sleeping on the floor. With your help we have provided the family with two single beds for the children, and would now like to provide two more so all the children can have their own beds. The family has already seen an improvement in the children's sleep, and they are able to concentrate more at school.
£200 needed for an electric wheelchair
Please can we apply for your support for this lady who needs to purchase an electric wheelchair. She fell down the stairs and has had mobility issues since. Getting this 'all-terrain' electric chair will allow her to go out and about with her children again. It is currently in the sale, and this lady's husband has managed to save towards it. However, with children, this is very hard.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
C has moved into our area after a period of homelessness and living in temporary accommodation in another town. He has now found a new property but is struggling with finances as he has multiple health problems and cannot work. He also has no savings or family to help. The new property doesn't have carpets and we can provide these for C free of charge if our kind donors can help us with the cost of fitting. Thanks for reading this.
£200 needed for a sofa and wardrobes
This lady was referred to us by Social Services as her Universal Credit and Child Benefit does not leave her able to buy basic furniture for herself and her children. She is fleeing domestic violence with her children, has come from out of the area and has moved out of her temporary accommodation into her new home. The property that this lady has moved into is bare, and doesn’t have all the basic furniture for herself and her children. We would like to provide the family with a sofa and two wardrobes.
£150 needed for a sofa
M moved back to the UK with her two children after her marriage broke down due to domestic violence. Following an episode of psychosis, she has been diagnosed as bipolar, and is unable to work due to her medication. M has few possessions and a crippling rent, and is relying on a food bank. Her home is bare, with very little furniture or toys for the children. She has nowhere to sit and spend time with the children, and they end up having to sit on the floor, which is cold and uncomfortable.
