£150 needed for a monthly travel pass
J is destitute and has just moved into a short term hosting placement before she moves in Home Office accommodation pending an appeal on her asylum claim. She has recently been released from detention and is traumatised from it, and finds that travelling outside around London really helps with her mental health. She has very little to live on, so if she could buy a travel card, this would mean the little money she has doesn't all go on travel.
£200 needed for a bedroom carpet
This lady had an accident four years ago that left her requiring five operations to her legs/ankle, and is only now able to think about going back upstairs in her home. However, she has no carpets in her bedroom. She rents her property, unfurnished, so is responsible for all furnishings. She has also had struggles with her mental health which has left her unable to work. As Winter approaches, she would love to be able to be warm, safe and comfortable in her own room.
£200 needed for a tumble dryer
This supported person has lost their daughter to suicide. They have struggled with their mental health for several years and a great deal of trauma. Their physical health is taking a dramatic decline and with various conditions affecting mobility and continence. The supported person is suffering with significant incontinence on a nightly basis meaning that bedding needs to be washed and dried every day. The purchase of a tumble dryer would be very beneficial.
£100 needed for a 3 month gym membership
J is destitute and has moved into a hosting placement. Due to a recent experience in detention, she is really struggling with her mental health. Exercise is the one thing which helps her feel better, and keeps her from going over the trauma she has experienced. She would love to have a gym membership so she can manage her mental health, and keep herself busy during a very tricky time.
£175 needed for a double mattress
G is in need of a double mattress. Her existing king size bed frame has broken and she's sourcing a smaller double frame but cannot afford a new mattress. She's a single parent who has a teenage daughter with additional needs. Her daughter is unable to attend college due to anxiety. G is a client of Christians Against Poverty (CAP) for help with debt-relief.
£200 needed for a washing machine
A is a single parent to a young daughter, who has been living in temporary accommodation. They have now secured a social housing tenancy, but the new property is unfurnished and they have no furniture to take with them. A is on a low income, and has already had to scrape together the first month's rent in advance and purchase other white goods, but she has run out of money to buy a washing machine. Your help to get one would mean she could keep the family's clothes and bedding clean.
£200 needed for a laptop for studying
S is very motivated to improve his English, to get online training and qualifications in the UK and to pass the driving theory test. He wants to improve his opportunities for the future. S' income is Universal Credit and he has no spare money after his living costs. He'd like a laptop so that he can access more resources to allow him to study and learn more easily. S also wants to apply for part time work and a laptop will allow him to adapt his CV and apply for jobs.
£200 needed for a laptop for training courses
H would like to study English using various websites that show videos and have accompanying questions. He's new to the UK and struggling to meet people because he doesn't speak much English. He feels isolated and his confidence is suffering. He's limited by the capacity of his phone and a laptop will allow him to access a great range of study materials and online training sessions. H's aim is to increase his confidence and language skills so that he can meet people and eventually work in the UK. His only income is Universal Credit so he cannot afford to get one himself.
£200 needed for a chest of drawers and rugs
K is a 23 year old Syrian refugee. She lives with her husband and a 15 month old daughter and is expecting a baby in November. Her husband has a back injury and can no longer work and she is very worried about their financial situation. She will be able to get basic equipment for the baby from a baby bank but she needs storage for their clothes and would also love to have a rug so that the toddler and the new baby have a soft surface to play on. She would be very grateful for any help.
