£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.

£200 needed for a cooker
S, an expectant mum who has fled an abusive relationship, has a flat which is her first home, is in her name alone and it means everything. She tells me that she associates home with the smell of good things cooking and wants to make that sort of home for her baby. Her benefits do not stretch to a cooker and she is managing with a microwave and ready meals. More than anything, S would like to be able to produce real home-cooked food for her health and that of her baby. Please can you help?
£150 needed for pots and pans, crockery and cutlery, utensils and a kettle
K had a fire in her kitchen and had to stay in temporary accommodation while it was cleaned up and put right.

We are working with her housing association and keyworker to help out with this as she was already struggling financially due to ill health.
£200 needed for a television and a mattress
S is a mother to her eleven year old son who has a physical disability. They are currently living in homeless hotel accommodation in North London and share a very small single room with a toilet and kitchenette. The room has bunk beds, but due to mum's back pain and her son’s disability, neither of them can use the top bunk so they share a bed. S would love a television to keep her son entertained, as this would improve his quality of life, and a mattress so she can sleep on the floor.
£200 needed for utilities and food
T is struggling to feed her four children and keep her house warm due to restrictions on her current work visa. We are working with her to help her increase her hours and apply for a visa. T is just weeks away from being able to work more hours, but desperate. Please can you help this beautiful, hard working lady and her family with a food shop and gas and electric?
