£145 needed for a refurbished washer and a double mattress
L, along with his partner, have moved into his mother's home after she passed away, in order to take care of his 14 year old brother, who had sadly found his mum when she had died. She had been ill for a while and had not been able to look after the house properly. L needs to bring it to a standard for them all to live in, but they are on a very low income so funds are tight. They need help to buy a washing machine and also to replace the double mattress.
£200 needed for one year of pendant alarm
Mr D is in hospital following a stroke which has affected his speech and cognition. He lives alone and is fiercely independent. He is no longer able to use a mobile phone and without a pendant alarm, he will have no means to call for help.
