It's meant that he can stay warm without worrying about high heating bills and without worrying about filling up a hot water bottle that's only going to warm up one small area at a time. It's safer for him as well.

£200 needed for housing costs for refugee resettlement
I, is a recently arrived refugee fleeing war in Sudan and is trying to start a new life here. He has been resettled into a wonderful youth supported housing; however, he is struggling with the expensive service charges. I is learning how to budget with limited income, and access different resources/support in his new area. This support would help him in his first two months of resettlement, and decrease the stress that it is causing so that he can focus on his education and job pursuits.
£200 needed for 2 bunk beds
J is a single mum of 4 children aged between 2 and 11, with her 13 year old niece living with them as well. She receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment which barely covers essential costs. After fleeing the house due to domestic abuse, they have moved 4 times in 18 months, each time having to purchase new uniforms for the children. The house they have just been offered is completely empty. Are you able to help get 2 bunk beds for four of the children?
£140 needed for a single bed and mattress
S is a single mother of three children aged 6 to 13. After six evictions over twelve years, she has struggled with fear and depression. Now settling into a new rental flat, mum is managing on a tight budget. Having moved from a hostel to an unfurnished home, her 11 year old daughter is sleeping on the sofa due to having no bed or mattress. A £140 Argos voucher would help her buy a single bed and mattress. This support would ease the family's situation, offering some comfort and stability for the daughter.
£135 needed for a laptop
Our friend came to the UK from Turkey a year ago seeking sanctuary in the UK. To help him settle in his new country, he has enrolled in language classes at a local college. He is very keen to study out of college hours, and a laptop would be a great help to enable him to study, do some English conversation and explore English language films! If you were able to help with this, that would be marvellous.
£160 needed for clothes, shoes and a suitcase
I is an asylum seeker from Somalia who had to flee her country because she rejected a forced marriage and this meant her life was in danger. She is living in an asylum hotel and receives less than £9 per week from the Home Office. I is in need of clothes and shoes suitable for the British weather, as well as some underclothing. She also needs a suitcase to keep her possessions in as she will eventually be moved and has nothing suitable. We would like to buy these items for her.
£175 needed for a supportive chair
F is experiencing severe anxiety and feels isolated due to her family living far away and relationships being strained. She is working hard to improve her situation through studying and job searching, but living in a bedsit means she works from her bed, causing back pain. A supportive chair, costing £175, would greatly help her comfort, well-being and motivation, showing that people care as she continues rebuilding her life. This support would ease her challenges as she works toward a healthier future!
£150 needed for a food voucher
Mum has come safely through her pregnancy and her new baby boy has arrived. However, she is already raising two boys, aged 6 and 10, on her own and is in need of some help to get all the things the baby needs on top of her other two boys' needs. A voucher would give mum some flexibility as to how she can spend the money. She is not able to work and is dependent on benefits. Mum has applied for all the grants she can, but a little extra help with nappies and food would really help the family at this time.
