It is such a relief having a washing machine again, as laundry was such a difficult task to do for those who have been supporting me. Your support has brought much ease for me and those supporting me, and I am very grateful.

£150 needed for a shed
F is a bright and resilient woman who has recently moved into a new home. She is a survivor of domestic violence and has previously experienced homelessness. F is in need of a garden shed to use as storage. It will give her a secure place to store essential household items and belongings that currently have no suitable storage space. This would help her ongoing efforts to establish stability, independence, and a sense of security after experiencing significant hardship.
£195 needed for bunk bed mattresses and a wardrobe
Young single mother, S, has recently moved from temporary bed and breakfast accommodation into an unfurnished one-bedroom flat with her two young children, aged four and one. They are currently sharing a single bed due to a lack of furniture. Support is requested to purchase bunk bed mattresses and a wardrobe, giving the children a safe and comfortable place to sleep and providing essential storage to help create a stable, settled home environment.
£175 needed for a fridge
K needs a small fridge as he lives in shared accommodation and shares a fridge, the food often goes missing or is used by other people. K is an asylum seeker currently awaiting decision and is living on Migrant Help Support which does not leave enough additional income for items such as this and makes regularly replacing food very difficult and means that he is currently mainly living off dried goods. The fridge would make a big difference to his well-being.
£200 needed for a washing machine
L is currently out of work and the only household income is Universal Credit. The current machine does not work properly and with two young children under 10 this is a problem for the family. They would have to use a launderette, which isn’t affordable. L is still trying to pay off previous debts and together with household bills and food costs, they do not have funds to replace or call out an engineer to repair the washing machine. He desperately needs a new machine.
£190 needed for a laptop
J has been a recovered addict for many years. He has been working hard to rebuild his life, volunteering full time, and living in a homeless community. He is recently recovering from alcohol addiction, which has severely impacted his health, and he is living in a safe rehabilitation facility while he recovers. J would like a laptop so he can stay in contact with his partner and his support system through this process, and to keep occupied with learning and training as he moves on with his life.
£200 needed for installing a washing machine and an air fryer
It was good to be able to chat to this client who is grateful to have been recently allocated some accommodation in a new building. However the apartment is completely unfurnished. Up until now K has been living in supported accommodation with an undiagnosed type of depression. He is a pensioner and therefore has very little finances to furnish his home and few possessions of his own. A washing machine and air fryer would both be a huge help as part of settling into his new place. Many thanks.
£200 needed for a cooker
A lady has been homeless since November. She also cares for her adult son who struggles with mental health difficulties. They have finally found a place, but she has spent all of her money on the deposit and has nothing left for essentials. What she urgently needs now is a gas cooker. There is currently no cooker in the property, and she is unable to prepare meals for herself and her son without one. Any help would mean so much to this mother and her son as they rebuild their lives with dignity.
£200 needed for a cooker
R is a young man who has been a resident in our supported housing for two and a half years. He came to us from a homeless situation and was in need of our help and support. Moving forward, R has a part-time job and has done so well that he is able to move on to live independently in a Council flat. He cannot afford a cooker for his new flat so we are hoping someone can help him out. He is a super lad who now has confidence in what he can achieve. We will continue to support him for the next 6 months.
£150 needed for food, shoes and toiletries
This lovely single mother of three supports her children (one at university and two still at home). Sadly, she experienced a life-changing aneurysm which damaged her brain such that she can no longer work and requires full-time care. Her immigration leave has lapsed through no fault of her own. While she sorts this out, she has lost the benefits needed for her two children living at home (aged 15 and 8). She would use this money for her children who need food, shoes and toiletries. Thank you.
