£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.
£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
£200 needed for a washing machine
This client fled domestic abuse and moved to our area homeless. She has been living in temporary accommodation for over 1 year but has now secured a council flat. The council flat is unfurnished and she would like some help getting funds to put towards a washing machine.
£200 needed for carpet
This couple are currently reliant on benefits due to disabilities and have just had their first baby. They are currently living with T's mum but have finally got their own flat. They need to carpet the nursery but can't afford this at the moment along with all the other costs of setting up a home together for the first time. T's partner came here from Ukraine due to the war so we would especially love to help them make their home as comfortable as possible.
£125 needed for children's oyster cards
The family would like help with the administrative fees for applying for 11-15 oyster cards. They are a refugee family who are quickly integrating into their local community but the kids need help with bus fees to get to and from school. The family has 7 children, one of which turned 16 recently. The father is looking for work but is being supported to claim what he is entitled to.
£200 needed for a new fridge freezer
We've met a Mum who is struggling to manage the needs of her child who has additional needs, alongside struggling with depression and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder herself. She is unable to work currently and money is tight, her fridge freezer is broken and she would really appreciate some help with this.
£200 needed for a sofa
At the moment, this family do not have a sofa to sit on, which can make their house feel much less like a home. A sofa would provide them with a comfortable, safe space to relax, play, read stories and simply spend time together as a family. For a mum doing everything she can to provide for her children, having somewhere comfortable to sit together would make a huge difference to their everyday lives. Mum is single parent in receipt of benefits.
