£200 needed for a laptop
K and her family are refugees with a permit to stay. She is currently studying Art and Design, as well as English and Maths. A lot of her work requires a computer and she is currently having to go to the library to complete homework tasks.

£200 needed for a fridge freezer
C is a single mum with two secondary aged children living in a small one bedroom flat. They have a small fridge but would really like a taller fridge to help them keep the kitchen tidy and to store food and drink. C has complex health issues and is unable to work so money is tight for the family. Any donations towards a fridge would be very much appreciated.
£200 needed for carpets
M and H, with their young son, recently received permission to stay in the UK and have just moved into their first long-term accommodation. Unfortunately all carpets were stripped out after the last tenant left and the policy of the social landlord is not to provide carpets. Due to their income being from benefits they are unable to afford to buy carpets and turn this house into a home. Any help would be gratefully received.
£200 needed for a dishwasher
F is a single lady with a brain injury and other physical disabilities. She cannot work and relies on benefits. F is of small stature, in pain much of the time and can't lift things easily, meaning that she struggles to complete day-to-day domestic tasks. A small dishwasher would mean that she would be able to better organised in the kitchen and it would transform her ability to take care of herself.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
A is a vulnerable adult on benefits with severe mental health impairment. His condition has worsened due to financial stress and rent arrears. Despite support stabilising some debts, he still owes a lot and has no financial resilience. His fridge freezer has broken, leaving him without essentials. Help to buy a fridge freezer would restore basic living standards and support his well-being. This assistance would help him regain stability and maintain his independence significantly.
£200 needed for a cooker
K faces severe financial hardship and complex health needs. Living on Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments, she owes utility arrears and struggles with ongoing housing disrepair. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), memory issues, respiratory illness, mould sensitivity and trauma affect her daily functioning. She urgently needs a cooker to prepare hot meals, support her health and rebuild stability. This appliance would ease her burden, improve well-being and provide a safe stable home as she works with support services.
£200 needed for a sofa bed
This single mum was previously homeless, but now has a one bedroom unfurnished flat. Her five month old son has grown so fast. It would really help them if Mum could have a sofa bed to sleep on in the living room, so that her son can have the bedroom. This will enable Mum to establish proper sleep routines for him. Mum would be grateful for support in purchasing a sofa bed, as she is struggling financially and is not working due to caring for her son full time.
£200 needed for driving lessons
T and her husband are from Pakistan. She has been her 3 years but has become very lonely and isolated due to a lack of language and opportunity. She has been coming to our support cafes to make friends and gain confidence. She would like to learn to drive to give her more employment opportunities. This will pay for 4 lessons. She is learning English and volunteering a few different places.
£200 needed for new carpet for a staircase
