£100 needed for a refurbished phone
R is a refugee, living independently in a house share. She attends college, trying her best to make a life for herself and get into work. She has had a very old phone for a long time and it has now almost completely stopped working. She struggles to use maps, or WhatsApp because her storage is limited. Some money towards a new phone would mean she can use her phone properly again and have some independance. Currently, she struggles to go to new places because she cannot use maps to find her way.
£200 needed for a washing machine and microwave
C came to us with difficulties that made it hard for her to leave the house and live a normal life. Social anxiety was holding her back. She has done well in our supported housing attending events and has now secured a flat of her own and we have helped her move into this. She now needs help to buy a microwave and washing machine. There is no cooker in her flat but she can get by for the time being if she had a microwave. She has come so far and she is now starting her new future.
£115 needed for renewing a passport
P came to the UK 24 years ago. She's never had a stable home since arriving in the UK, and has lived with friends for many years but is now sleeping at a night shelter. She suffers from lymphoedema which affects her mobility and is hard to manage in the shelter. She is eligible to make an application to regularise her stay in the UK and this would make a huge difference to her wellbeing but to do so she first needs to renew her Nigerian passport. She would be grateful for any help to do this.
£200 needed for bedding, clothes and an iron
This young mum came out of prison 6 weeks ago and was placed in a hostel in Liverpool, she has now been moved again for her protection. She attended dropin and is in need of bedding, such as a quilt and pillows as well as clothes and an iron. She needs an iron because she won't go out without her clothes ironed. She's now in a new accommodation where she has support and she says that having these things will be so helpful and help with her anxiety it will help her go out and build confidence as well.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
S is a single parent on Universal Credit who is just moving from temporary housing to her long-term accommodation and is in desperate need of a fridge-freezer. Getting this would mean she can do bigger shops and meal plan, helping her money go a little further
£200 needed for a laptop
M and her family have been in this country from Afghanistan for 5 months. She has six children aged between 6 and 16. Her eldest daughter has just started a local sixth form, studying for A Levels including computer science. We are requesting support to be able to purchase a laptop to help with her studies. The family are in receipt of Universal Credit but this just covers essentials.
£200 needed for cooker
Our debt client has not had a working cooker since 2021. Due to his health he cannot work at the moment and relies on benefits. He is doing really well at making food at home to help him save money and eat more healthily. We would love to support him in this by helping him buy a cooker so that he can prepare a greater variety of meals and do batch cooking.
£170 needed for a hotel and food for a family trip
S was made redundant and the family is now reliant on benefits, while their partner has no recourse to public funds and cannot contribute financially. With a one-year-old daughter, they have little disposable income and cannot afford a family day out. This trip would provide vital respite from financial stress, support their wellbeing and strengthen family bonds. Donations would cover a one-night in a hotel and food.
£200 needed for a chest of drawers and shoe storage
E and her partners home was subject to a serious flood causing their home to become uninhabitable, losing all their furniture and possessions. They are currently living in cramped temporary accommodation awaiting repairs to their home. E is in need of a chest of drawers and a shoe cabinet to help make their living space workable. They both do low paid jobs and work long hours. Their income is topped up by benefits
