It's meant that he can stay warm without worrying about high heating bills and without worrying about filling up a hot water bottle that's only going to warm up one small area at a time. It's safer for him as well.

£200 needed for a double bed and bedding
J, who lives alone, has mental health issues which we are supporting him with, and several other health issues including heart problems. His income is from Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment. J has no family support, feels isolated and is really struggling at this time, but what is also a concern is that he has no bed and currently sleeps on the floor. We are hoping to get J a new double bed and some bedding to help with his sleep, as we feel this would also be beneficial to his health, and we can then continue to support him with everyday living.
£170 needed for a fridge freezer
E is a young woman from Eritrea who fled violence. She has recently found stable housing after a period of homelessness, following her eviction from Home Office accommodation in London after getting refugee status. E is setting up her new home, but has nothing in it. Your support would cover the cost of a fridge freezer and delivery to her new home. This would help E to be able to live a normal life and keep food fresh.
£200 needed for driving lessons
After a period of homelessness, M has finally got stable accommodation and is now looking to improve his employability. He really wants to get a driving licence so that he can find a suitable job. He has got a theory test booked and needs some lessons to get up to speed. This support would be a revelation to M and would be an incredibly valuable asset to his employability. We are hoping to get four to five lessons for M, enough to refresh his driving skills and work towards a test.

This man suffers from anxiety and depression and these are being made worse due to damp and mould in the property he shares with his partner and child.

Please will you help?

£200 needed for a tumble dryer
My supported person's tumble dryer broke this week. They lost their partner of twenty six years to suicide in December 2025 and has been struggling deeply since. They only receive basic Universal Credit and Carer’s Allowance, can barely cover essentials and are already behind on rent and utility bills.
£200 needed for food and winter clothes
S, a mother with four children, was an asylum seeker living in a hotel. On acquiring refugee status, the family has now moved into a house. Mum is on Universal Credit and struggling with bills for rent, electricity, water rates and Council Tax. This leaves her with very little money for food. Your contribution to give S vouchers to buy food and winter clothes for her children will bring happiness to this struggling family. Please could you donate? Thank you for your kindness.
£195 needed for a second-hand fridge freezer and washing machine
This refugee family from Sudan is asking for help with £195 to purchase a used fridge freezer and washing machine they have found. While they are thrilled that they have been able to move their family out of a one bedroom tower flat, they are struggling to find the money for their basic needs. They have been able to get help from charities for beds and other furniture, but have exhausted all other help for appliances. Please would you consider helping them to settle well and give back to their community?
