£200 needed for support towards legal fees
S is an asylum seeker with no recourse to public funds who fled violence and conflict in her home country. After her previous appeal was unsuccessful, she is preparing a fresh application to remain in the UK. She urgently needs support with legal fees to secure support from a lawyer and give her case the best chance of success. Unable to work or access benefits, S has no means of covering these costs herself. Any support would be life changing.
£200 needed for a washing machine
M has recently come out of hospital and is in care waiting for her home to be ready for her. Due to her limited financial resources, she is unable to afford a replacement washing machine after hers broke. Given her health and care needs, access to a working washing machine is essential and is important for her wellbeing and hygiene. Please consider giving to this need to help her manage her laundry needs effectively, ensuring her ongoing care and support needs are met.
£200 needed for food shopping
Our poor debt client has received £500 less than normal on her Universal Credit payment due to an error at their end. This has made her budget very tight for the month and she is struggling to cover all the essentials for herself and her two children. It would be a huge help if we could get her a voucher so she can afford food while she waits for her next Universal Credit payment.
£200 needed for a cooker
W became homeless earlier this year when he lost his house, his marriage broke up and he lost his job. He has worked hard engaging with services and support and now has a new job and has just moved into a flat. W is still getting back on his feet financially and needs items for his flat, which he can't afford at this time. Any donations towards a cooker would be so gratefully received to support W with his fresh start.
£200 needed for living room carpet
Our client is a vulnerable adult who was recently homeless. They were discharged from hospital and Adult Social Care contacted us to help support them. After a period of living in temporary accommodation, they have now been housed but unfortunately, have no white goods or flooring at all. We are already looking to get support for them with white goods and furniture but would love to be able to support them with some new carpet to help make their house a home. Can you help?
£200 needed for a cooker
A is moving into his own tenancy after many years of instability, including growing up around addiction and abuse, sofa surfing and periods of street homelessness. Having his own front door represents a major step forward and an opportunity to build a settled and independent life. A is moving with very little and does not have a cooker - a cooker would enable him to prepare proper meals at home, manage his food budget and establish everyday routines.
£200 needed for clothes and a bus pass
A young man is rebuilding his life after losing his home and belongings following a period in prison. He has now been housed in a different area, but his church and support network remain where he previously lived, and he needs to travel to stay connected to them. He also needs clothing, as he has very little. His benefits only just cover food and bills. A donation towards bus tickets and clothing would make a real difference as he works to rebuild his life and move forward positively.

R is a young pregnant woman who is suffering with multiple health issues. She is not able to work and relying only on Universal Credit. R has a diagnosis of Autism and struggles with anxiety and meeting new people. R has a baby due next month and the unborn child is open to social care involvement. R is desperate for a fridge freezer as hers has recently broke which is placing additional pressure on finances trying to but fresh food constantly need to be bought as unable to store in a cool temperature.
£80 needed for a bus pass
A young man is currently homeless and living in temporary accommodation. He is working hard to improve his situation, but he struggles to afford the travel costs needed to attend important appointments and access support services. With very limited income, even basic transport costs can be a challenge. Any support towards travel expenses would make a real difference and help him stay engaged with the services he relies on.
