£150 needed for a wardrobe
N has just moved into a new rented property with her three children, however it is unfurnished and she doesn't have much furniture to bring with her. She has a low income which barely covers essential living costs, so she can't afford to buy any new furniture. She would really like a wardrobe to be able to keep her and her children's clothes tidy and protected, rather than being scattered across the house.
