£200 needed for carpet fitting.
H has fled a violent and abusive relationship. She has been living in temporary accommodation (a hotel) but has recently been granted her own property. Sadly the property isn't carpeted and S would love to make it into her forever home. Her only income is from benefits and she has no savings or family to support her. We have an offer of free carpets but we just need a little help with the fitting costs.
£200 needed for carpet fitting.
H has recently been granted leave to remain after fleeing a war torn country. She has been living in home office accommodation but has just been granted her own property, she is starting from scratch with virtually nothing. She doesn't have is carpets in the property and she would really love it to be carpeted (she suffers from poor mental health and a cold, damp flat won't be good for this). We can provide the carpets free of charge but we're praying a kind donor will help with the cost of fitting.

L is a single lady who lives alone in a studio flat and has only a son for family support. L has significant health issues, chronic fatigue syndrome following brain tumour treatment and is recovering from a broken leg. She is unable to work and is dependent on benefits with no savings. Her fridge is broken and she has no freezer so struggles with frequent shopping trips as she cannot store her chilled food safely. She is desperate for fridge freezer so she can reduce her shopping trips and save money.
£200 needed for hiring a skip
This client is moving from her own council house to supported living to get more assistance as she suffers from epilepsy, cerebral palsy and had a mild stroke. Due to down sizing, the client has been asked to get rid of things she cannot take. She is going to donate unwanted items in good condition to charity but needs help hiring a skip or a house clearance company to remove the things which are broken and she cannot donate.
£200 needed for an electric cooker
A family with a one-year-old child, facing financial hardship, have never been able to afford an oven and rely solely on an air fryer. They have asked for help to provide an electric cooker, which would enable them to prepare fresh, nutritious, home-cooked meals, vegetables and baking for their little boy. We pray that our kind and generous donors may be able to help provide this essential item and make a real difference to this family.
£200 needed for food and a licence to gain work
This couple came from Tanzania six years ago with their three children. They were allocated a council house that was in very poor condition and had to carry out repairs to make it habitable. We often help with food items. The husband desperately needs work and the prolonged unemployment has affected both of their well being; causing sleeplessness, social isolation and hopelessness. Support with the cost of food and his SIA (Security Industry Authority Door Supervisor Licence) would enable him to secure employment and provide for his family.
£200 needed for carpets for stairs and landing
Our Food Bank Ministry is supporting a single dad and his three-year-old son. Dad is living with kidney disease and is awaiting a kidney transplant. After experiencing homelessness and sofa surfing, they have finally moved into a flat — but it has no carpets. Sadly, Dad cannot afford the cost of carpeting their new home. We are praying that our generous donors may be able to help provide a warm, safe and comfortable home for this father and his young son.
£200 needed for a sofa and cushions
This client has been unable to work due to her health conditions for many years and is living in temporary accommodation. Her place was completely unfurnished. She has gradually saved for essentials but is struggling to afford a sofa. Her current one is broken and not suitable for her due to her health conditions which include lumbar spinal stenosis. She is dealing with debt repayments and high energy bills, leaving little disposable income. A reclining sofa would be wonderful. Thank you.
