£130 needed for a mobile phone and sim card
D is a vulnerable man with some major health issues. He's very isolated and up till recently was a paid carer for his parents. They have sadly passed away leaving D with no income and feeling very lost. We have made a Universal Claim for him as well as an application for Personal Independence Payment but he needs a phone and a sim card top up to keep in contact with Universal Credit, extended family and local agencies.
£200 needed for the cost of carpet fitting
Firstly, thank you for reading our clients' story. S has recently lost her husband to cancer. She is really struggling both emotionally and financially bringing up the children on her own. She has lived in a local housing association property for the last 5 years and has never been able to afford to carpet it properly. It would be a massive boost to S is she could get her house carpeted before the weather changes. We're juts hoping and praying a kind donor will help us make this happen.
£200 needed for bedroom carpet
This gentleman is a refugee who has volunteered in our food club for several months now. We have helped him find a permanent place to live as he was living in supported shared housing. He is keen to find work and is at the moment working part time and claiming benefits. Recently, he has been given the keys to his own place. He has no means to furnish it and would be very grateful for any help that could be given for carpet for his bedroom as this would make the place feel like home.
£200 needed for living room carpet
This gentleman is a refugee with leave to remain. He is keen to work and make a new life in this country but up till now has not been able due to him living in supported accommodation which is very expensive. He has now been offered his own place which will allow him to look for full time work. However, although he is happy with his flat, there are no carpets and he has no means to buy any due to his finances. Any help you can give would be gratefully received.
£200 needed for flooring
This lovely gentleman went debt free with us but is still living on a very low income while he continues to look for work. After years of living in one room he is very happy to now be in a small flat but he can't afford to put in some laminate flooring that is needed. Your help with this would be much appreciated, as we head towards autumn and winter it would be great to help him stay cosy with proper flooring in place.

I is at university, working hard to improve their lives, but currently has a very low income. She has recently been diagnosed with spinal cysts causing sciatic pain, worsened by a poor bed and mattress and living on the 4th floor with no lift. We are requesting a small double bed and mattress to improve her wellbeing.

This applicant has recently been discharged from hospital and has been advised that her cooker is broken. As a result, she is unable to prepare hot meals, impacting both her diet and wellbeing.
