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.

£200 needed for home essentials and appliances
A local man is trying to rejoin the community after leaving care of an inpatient mental health facility. Sadly, whilst in the care of the facility, he was the victim of cuckooing. Whilst seeking treatment his home was completely destroyed and he has lost all his belongings due to vandalism. He has been moved into a new property as a matter of urgency but now requires furniture like a bed, appliances like a cooker and fridge freezer, kitchen items and personal essentials such as clothing to begin re-building his life.
£95 needed for a monthly bus pass
K is a newly granted refugee and has started English for Speakers of Other Languages classes in central London. She is very keen to gain new skills and attend classes as much as she can, though she struggles with paying for transport, as she ends up spending most of her money on that leaving her with very little for other essential things. Support towards transport would make a huge difference and allow her to attend classes more regularly so she can start building her new life in London.
£150 needed for a shed
F is a bright and resilient woman who has recently moved into a new home. She is a survivor of domestic violence and has previously experienced homelessness. F is in need of a garden shed to use as storage. It will give her a secure place to store essential household items and belongings that currently have no suitable storage space. This would help her ongoing efforts to establish stability, independence, and a sense of security after experiencing significant hardship.
£200 needed for bunk beds
Young single mother, S, has recently moved from temporary bed and breakfast accommodation into an unfurnished one-bedroom flat with her two young children, aged four and one. They are currently sharing a single bed due to a lack of furniture. Support is requested to purchase bunk beds, providing the children with a safe, comfortable place to sleep and helping to create a more stable home environment.
£195 needed for bunk bed mattresses and a wardrobe
Young single mother, S, has recently moved from temporary bed and breakfast accommodation into an unfurnished one-bedroom flat with her two young children, aged four and one. They are currently sharing a single bed due to a lack of furniture. Support is requested to purchase bunk bed mattresses and a wardrobe, giving the children a safe and comfortable place to sleep and providing essential storage to help create a stable, settled home environment.
£175 needed for a fridge
K needs a small fridge as he lives in shared accommodation and shares a fridge, the food often goes missing or is used by other people. K is an asylum seeker currently awaiting decision and is living on Migrant Help Support which does not leave enough additional income for items such as this and makes regularly replacing food very difficult and means that he is currently mainly living off dried goods. The fridge would make a big difference to his well-being.
£200 needed for a washing machine
L is currently out of work and the only household income is Universal Credit. The current machine does not work properly and with two young children under 10 this is a problem for the family. They would have to use a launderette, which isn’t affordable. L is still trying to pay off previous debts and together with household bills and food costs, they do not have funds to replace or call out an engineer to repair the washing machine. He desperately needs a new machine.
£90 needed for a mobile phone
This man is a homeless refugee. He has been homeless for more than 1 year. He is not stable mentally and very stressed. He does not have a mobile phone and this has prevented him from proving his right to rent, work and access his Universal Credit. We would appreciate the kind support to provide him a second hand mobile phone as this will improve his mental health, social wellbeing and enable him to access his benefits.
£190 needed for a laptop
J has been a recovered addict for many years. He has been working hard to rebuild his life, volunteering full time, and living in a homeless community. He is recently recovering from alcohol addiction, which has severely impacted his health, and he is living in a safe rehabilitation facility while he recovers. J would like a laptop so he can stay in contact with his partner and his support system through this process, and to keep occupied with learning and training as he moves on with his life.
