£200 needed for furniture
K and K are an educated Pakistani couple with three children. They have no access to benefits, no family or community support, and have been living in atrocious conditions (a bedsit with kitchen and bathroom, shared with mice). They have now just been given the tenancy of a decent private-rented house which is part-furnished but they have limited furniture to take with them having had no room for much up to now. The dad has been working long hours at his minimum wage job to save up for the deposit and first months rent for their new tenancy but there is no money left over to buy furniture. They need two beds for the children, a double mattress, some basic wardrobes/storage, and some bedding.
£150 needed for a wardrobe
A suffers from a severe heart problem, and had a heart attack last year. As a result he is struggling to manage his home and look after himself. His bedroom is very untidy as he has no storage, which means that he can't keep his clothes tidy and protected. However he has a very low income and can't afford to buy any storage. Your help to buy a wardrobe would greatly improve his living environment, and give him somewhere to keep his clothes.
£200 needed for utilities bills
Our parishioner is unemployed and cares for their disabled parents and brother. They lived off their savings but those funds are now exhausted. C continues to try and find employment that also allows them to care for their parents. They are seeking financial support to meet imminent payment of gas, electricity and mobile phone bills.
£200 needed for food
R has fled a domestic violence relationship and has had to flee to a new area, with her two children. She has made a claim for Universal Credit but currently has no income and is struggling to afford food. She is being supported by a domestic violence charity and has been referred for debt support. Any donations towards a food voucher would be gratefully received to help R with her fresh start.
£200 needed for carpets
M has been on a journey of recovery from rough sleeping and addiction. He made substantial progress to the point of living in his own tenancy and working full time, but unfortunately had a relapse. M has found his feet again and is building a community around him to make his recovery smoother this time. M has recently moved into a new flat that needs carpets but cannot afford this due to not working currently. We would like to make his home as comfortable as possible to aid his recovery journey.
£120 needed for clothing
K has experienced homelessness and is working towards her recovery. K is ready to make steps to make changes for her future. She was previously underweight but during her road to recovery she has managed to get to a healthier weight but this has meant she can no longer fit in most of her clothing. Due to her very limited income she is unable to purchase clothing. She would like to ask for support towards these costs which will support her on her journey and promote her overall wellbeing.
£200 needed for an electric bike
E has been in the UK for one year, seeking asylum from Algeria. He has frequent displacement of the ligaments in his knee which makes walking very difficult and he is unable to access public transport. His electric bike enabled him to be able to travel around the city accessing college where he is learning English; to do shopping; and to attend appointments. His previous bike was stolen and he is unable to afford a new one. Are you able to support him?
