£115 needed for driving licence and food voucher
Z was recently referred to us following a period of homelessness. She doesn't have any form of ID and this is really hindering her ability to get the right support regarding her health and future employment. Z is on a very low income and is just about managing to buy essentials. Any help towards a provisional driving licence would have a massive positive impact for Z. We are also concerned that Z does not have enough money to sustain herself and we are asking for support towards a food voucher.
£150 needed for a dining table and four chairs
These parents have had problems with alcohol abuse but are doing very well after detox. They receive Universal Credit and Child Benefit. They have three children and in order to get back to normal family life they would like a table and chairs to share family meals together. Please will you help?
£90 needed for a phone
We are supporting an asylum seeker from Afghanistan. They have no mobile phone which makes life very difficult for them with so many things, not least dealing with all the forms that are needed for dealing with the Home Office for the asylum application and getting in touch with people who can help and support them at this time. If somebody was able to help with providing them with a phone that really would make a significant difference to their life day by day.

£200 needed for a cooker
I had a short chat with D who had been homeless for many years. He has most recently spent almost 2 years in temporary accommodation and now for the first time has a flat of his own. He has been unable to work due to an ongoing mental health condition which at times results in hospitalisation. He remains hopeful for a new phase in his life and a cooker would be a great encouragement to him as he starts to furnish his new home. Thank you so much for reading this.

T has been a substance user for some time, but recently lost her partner to an overdose and is determined to try to make positive changes in her life. She has engaged with housing support who are helping her to sort out her utilities and clean up her home. Her home doesn't have a cooker, which would really help her to build positive habits as well as making her diet more healthy and affordable, helping her recovery. She can't afford to buy one herself as she has little income.
£200 needed for a washing machine
J is heavily pregnant, and been staying in emergency accommodation having fled domestic abuse. She has now moved into a property of her own, but it has no washing machine. J is very worried about how she will keep on top of keeping all the baby's clothes and bedding clean without a washing machine, but she can't afford to buy one herself as her only income is Universal Credit which barely covers her daily living costs.
£100 needed for camping equipment
Our supported person's son sadly lost their father to suicide and has been struggling with grief and trauma. They feel like they need a affordable way to get away and spend some quality time together and have decided on camping, however they do not have the financial means to do this. They feel that getting away together will boost their relationship and contribute to positive mental health. Can you help them to buy a tent and camping equipment?

We would like to buy these for her.
