£200 needed for a washing machine
A has been volunteering for the local charity here advocating for people in the local community for over four years and is now working part-time for us. Her low income is supported by Universal Credit. She is a single mum (and grandmother) of six children, and her youngest is still school-age and living with her. Her washing machine has broken down and we would really like to support her financially to help her buy a new one so any donations would be gratefully received.
£190 needed for a television and a phone
P has fallen on hard times. Following ill health last year and losing his possessions, he was evicted from his home on a no fault eviction due to house repairs. He has since experienced many supported accommodation placements, with people with various issues. We have now managed to find him a suitable shared house but when arriving to pick up his things, his room had been broken into and his television and phone had been stolen. He'd be very grateful for any support to replace them.
£150 needed for a driving course
K's career as a teaching assistant was put on hold due to a driving ban, as she could no longer get to work. She has been offered a role as a support assistant closer to home. Before it starts, K has the opportunity to do a driving course which will reduce the length of her ban and give her more flexibility for work in her new job. Having been out of work for a while, K doesn't have the money to fund it herself. Would you please be able to cover the cost so she can make the most of her new role?
£160 needed for clothes and shoes
J is a vulnerable man with a history of poor mental health and suicidal thoughts. As a migrant he has no income and survives with the support of members of his church. He sleeps either on friends' sofas or in hostels and has very little in the way of belongings. He has two young children who live with their mother and he makes sure that he sees them at least once a week and goes to meetings at their school. He would be very grateful for any help to buy some fresh clothes and waterproof shoes.
£200 needed for a washing machine
A mother and her two teenage sons fled persecution in Iraq and are now moving from furnished accommodation into their first social housing property. This new home is completely empty, with no carpets or white goods. Previous local council grants in the area have ended, leaving them to start from nothing. As a single mother on Universal Credit who suffers from chronic back pain, she is struggling to furnish the home. This washing machine will be a vital help as they establish their new life.
£200 needed for a double buggy for a baby and toddler
This single mum has recently been granted asylum. She has a toddler and is pregnant - the baby is due very soon. Without a double buggy she will not be able to leave the house. She is on her own in a new country with no family or friends and desperately needs help. Please can you help support this mum?
£150 needed for 32" smart television and aerial
M is a single man who has had a troubled life resulting in him being homeless for some considerable time. He has had a lot of support to enable him to acquire a tenancy on a permanent flat but it is completely unfurnished. Home church has provided the basics re cooking and sleeping but he has significant mental health issues including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder so he would benefit greatly from a TV to occupy his time. He is not able to work currently and is dependent on basic benefits with no savings or family support.
£150 needed for a mattress
This young single mum, with an 18 month old child, struggles from poor mental and physical health, and has now been in temporary accommodation for 2.5 years. Following a difficult relationship with her ex-partner, she is seeking to make a fresh start and would dearly love a new mattress as her bad back is suffering on a nightly basis. She is working with another local charity and making good progress, but a new mattress would make a world of difference. Can you help, please?
£200 needed for a refurbished cooker and fridge freezer
L, along with his partner, have moved into his mother's rented family home following her passing away, in order to take care of his 14 year old brother, who sadly found his mum when she had died. She had been ill for a while and had not been able to look after the house properly. L needs to bring it to a standard for them all to live in, but they are on a very low income so funds are tight. They need help to replace the cooker and fridge freezer that are just not usable.
