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 sofa and cushions
C has recently been moved to new accommodation with her boys after divorce proceedings. The apartment has no furniture and although she was able to take beds and a small table and chairs with her she said they are very old. However, she has no sofa at all and hence she made this the priority in terms of furniture required. She is in receipt of Universal Credit but does not have any money left over to enable her to buy the bigger items that she needs. Thank you so much for reading this.
£200 needed for a washer/dryer
This gentleman in his 50s with ongoing health problems was found sleeping rough. He was assisted into temporary accommodation, but it's been a hard two years moving from address to address, often far from his roots. Now he has obtained a permanent tenancy but is without funds to furnish it. We would like to provide him with a washer/dryer as his health problems make it difficult to visit a launderette and the costs are also high. Your help would be hugely appreciated.

We've known our client for a few years now, and after some very difficult times, she is really trying to get her life back on track with the help of support workers and peer supporters.

D is a 31 year old man who moved here to build a new life. He has been engaging with our service for help and support to rebuild his life. D has been forced to flee his home due to threats from people locally. He is currently in temporary housing awaiting a new property in a different town which is imminent. He has left behind most possessions as it was not possible to take them and as such we are requesting support for D with kitchen items; a second hand cooker, dishes, cutlery, pans, etc.
£170 needed for clothes and food
P has heart failure and is waiting for an operation to fit a pacemaker. He is homeless and, as a migrant, he cannot claim benefits. He sleeps at friends' houses and has to move around so that he doesn't become a nuisance. Friends sometimes give him clothes but they are usually old and often don't fit well. He would be very grateful for any help to get some clothes and shoes. He doesn't want to ask friends for food as well as shelter so he would also be delighted for help to buy his own food.
£200 needed for a television and a wardrobe
This gentleman, through no fault of his own, lost his job as a surveyor and has struggled since. He has recently moved from a House of Multiple Occupancy to a studio flat and is proud to be taking this important step. He is on Universal Credit and has purchased some items for his flat but has no savings to buy all the basics. With your help we have provided him with a new bed. This gentleman does not have a wardrobe or TV and we would like to provide them to make his flat more like a home.
£200 needed for two wardrobes
This lady with two children has battled problematic alcohol use, has attended a recovery programme and is now a recovering alcoholic. As part of her recovery she has secured a new flat for herself and her children. She receives Universal Credit but has no savings and is unable to afford all the furniture she needs to make a comfortable home. With your kindness we have provided them with some furniture, and would now like to provide two wardrobes to give them storage space for clothes, rather than using suitcases.
£200 needed for a dining table, chairs and a chest of drawers
This autistic gentleman was living in secure accommodation with his wife and children. He fell victim to a Facebook landlord scam and lost £3,000. He is on Universal Credit and has no savings. He was moved to fully furnished temporary accommodation, meaning he had to get rid of his own furniture. They have now moved into permanent accommodation and with your help we have provided a TV and a Sofa. He now needs a chest of drawers for storage and a dining table and chairs for family mealtimes. We would like to offer these. Can you help?
£105 needed for sensory items
J lives with his mum. He is nonspeaking and diagnosed with autism, and he has significant additional needs. He can become angry when unable to communicate effectively. His mum is unable to work due to her own health and her caring role for her son. The family would benefit from items that would enable sensory regulation. This would support him to have deep pressure enabling him to relax and reduce his anxiety. The items would also improve sleep and help to calm him when he is feeling heightened.
