They would also really benefit from buying a microwave to help them cook and reheat food affordably.

£160 needed for an undercounter fridge

He was forced to leave his parents house and lived with his Grandmother. She sadly passed away in September last year leaving Mr B homeless and with no support from family. He has suffered mental health and trauma from the situation. An LGBT organisation has supported him in finding a rented room with a private bathroom. He has no access to a fridge, with the warmer weather now approaching it is something he desperately needs to enable him to keep cooked food stored safely at the right temperature.
