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.

G has just moved to the area after fleeing domestic violence and is being supported by the local Domestic Violence team. After moving between hotels, she has now been offered a home which came unfurnished. Although she has received most essential household items from her support team, she's in need of a wardrobe and a chest of drawers for her bedroom which will help create a stable living environment, and support her in settling into the community so she can focus on finding work and rebuilding her life.

£200 needed for a fridge freezer
This lady, her husband and little girl are refugees with leave to remain. The lady's husband is very keen to work but, at the moment, is in college learning the language. They have a very small fridge that they were given and for which they are grateful but they would like a fridge freezer so they are able to take advantage of offers at the supermarket. This would help them with managing their money. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
This family of parents and five children have fled abuse and been rehoused in Cornwall. The father cannot work and receives Personal Independence Payment. A child receives disability living allowance and there is Child Benefits. As they were removed hurriedly they left with virtually nothing and used other charities for household items. They have no white goods. Please can you help them with a fridge freezer which is vital in this hot weather and for buying cheaply in bulk.
£200 needed for bedding, kitchen items and a supermarket voucher
Our client was made redundant last year and can only find part time work. He and his wife have four children including two year old twins. They have recently been served with an eviction notice due to the property being sold. The family are struggling to make ends meet. They are in need of bedding for two cot beds, a microwave and toaster as theirs are broken. We would also like to get them a supermarket voucher for nappies, baby items and extra food. All donations are very welcome.
£170 needed for the installation of a new donated electric cooker
This single lady in her 50's is financially vulnerable on a very low income. She lives in her own house with no family support, and it is increasingly in need of work to make it safe. Her gas cooker was condemned in May and gas fittings deemed unsafe. She has been offered a new electric cooker which would also reduce her energy costs, but needs extensive electrical work to be able to install it. We have accessed most of the money but need the rest for her to be able to cook again.
£170 needed for a driving test
M and F recently received permission to stay in the UK. They have two young children at school, about 40 minutes walk from their home. The long walk every day is proving a challenge for the children, so they are both currently studying for their driving licence tests in the hope of being able to get a car as soon as possible. This would also help dad get work as a delivery driver. Any help with the cost of the driving tests (£170 for both parents) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
