Partner contacts person in need and gives the item so desperately needed

£200 needed for a cooker

He is working hard to stay clean of drugs and alcohol, and receiving support from the local church, Cocaine Anonymous and Christians Against Poverty.

£200 needed for a fridge freezer

She looks after and supports her elderly mother, brings her to the centre, and has managed to get her involved with some of the community activities. P lives alone and is on medication which needs to be kept in a fridge, but her fridge freezer has broken down, so she is currently using a neighbour's fridge which isn't ideal in the long-term. Any donations towards a fridge freezer would really help P get back on track.

Understandably, she is juggling an awful lot while also dealing with the grief of her loss.

This money, if raised, will pay for a local 'man with a van' to take care of this for her and remove this burden from her shoulders.
