M is a single mum of three children, two of whom have complex health needs. She finds it a struggle sometimes to make ends meet from month to month.

£200 needed for a cooker
M has been a resident with us over a number of years. We have supported him out of homelessness twice and now, after a long period of stability, he has a new flat that he will be able to live in independently, and a job that he enjoys. M has come so far. We provide six months support after he leaves our service and, as part of this, we are helping him kit out his new flat. One of the main items he needs is a cooker and we are, therefore, asking if you could please help us by funding this for him.
£200 needed for a lounge carpet
This couple and their children, who are working with our Christians Against Poverty team, were evicted from their home last year when the landlord sold the property, and have been in temporary housing since then. They have three children, one who is profoundly disabled. The family has now been offered a council house but it comes without any carpets. They are actively working with us to try and sort out their debts. Both parents struggle with mental and physical health challenges which means they cannot currently work. Please can you help them carpet their lounge?
