£200 needed for bedroom carpet
N has recently moved into her own flat after a period of living in supported accommodation. She had to leave the family home due to a breakdown in relationship. She has engaged well with staff in supported accommodation, making enough progress to move on to independence. N's new tenancy has no flooring throughout and any help you could give her to get some carpets down would make the place feel so much more homely.
£140 needed for a smart TV
S is a quietly spoken respectful single man who has been street homeless for some months. He has recently been awarded an unfurnished room in a house of multiple occupancy which Home Church has helped him furnish with basic essentials. S is unable to work due to anxiety and depression from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is dependent on basic benefits and has no savings or support network. S is grateful for all the help we have shown him but he would really benefit from having a Smart TV in his room to alleviate his boredom and occupy his thinking.

£200 needed for a cooker
This lady has recently had a flood in her home which caused damage to her cooker. L has suffered physical trauma over the past few years resulting in major surgery which meant that she had to stop working and now manages on low income. Due to her health problems, L's wellbeing has been compounded by mental health and at times taken her to a very low place. With support through counselling she has started to make progress; albeit she continues to suffer from the after affects of her surgery. In her own words L says that a new cooker would help her overcome a feeling of dependence on others.

Your support would be very much appreciated.
