It is such a relief having a washing machine again, as laundry was such a difficult task to do for those who have been supporting me. Your support has brought much ease for me and those supporting me, and I am very grateful.

£200 needed for a sofa
C is a young mum doing everything she can to give her daughter a happy, secure life. Despite struggling to afford the basics on Universal Credit, she always makes sure her little girl is fed, loved and cared for. They finally have a place to call their own, but they cannot afford a sofa and are currently using folding chairs. This is causing C back pain. We'd love to help this family enjoy simple moments together – snuggling up on a sofa to read bedtime stories. It's the little things that mean the most.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
C is a single mother of four who we supported with a debt relief order last year and remains insolvent. She receives Personal Independent Payment and is on a very limited income. Her fridge freezer is no longer working properly, making it difficult to store food safely and increasing costs. A replacement would ensure the family can keep fresh and frozen food, supporting their health, wellbeing, and ability to manage essential household needs.
£200 needed for a new washing machine
This family's washing machine has broken. They have a 10 year old daughter and a 15 year old son and desperately need a washing machine to keep on top of uniforms. The family have limited income and they are on Universal Credit which hardly covers the cost of food. Can you help this family to purchase a new washing machine?
£160 needed for a garden furniture set
Mum is working hard to transform her garden into a place the family can enjoy together. She has four boys; three teenagers and an older son, all with additional needs. Mum currently relies on benefits as her sole income and is doing her very best to provide for her family. A garden table and chair set would make a real difference. It would allow the family to spend time together outside, enjoying meals, talking and relaxing in a safe, familiar environment.
£165 needed for the installation of a gas cooker
K is a single mum of a 13 year old. Her spine is crumbling and her daughter has been diagnosed with hypermobility. She is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment which just covers her essential costs. Her cooker has been declared unsafe but her landlady is not helping. She is requesting support to be able to get a gas cooker delivered and installed. Please can you help this family?
£200 needed for a mini oven and table
H and her daughter were made homeless recently and have been placed in temporary accommodation. As she has no furniture at all she is being supported where possible by various local groups. The client does work twelve hours a week but has a low income so it is impossible to buy large items for her home. Cooking facilities are a priority and a mini oven plus a table will be items she can take with her when she moves. Thank you for considering this request.
£175 needed for a freezer
I had a very good conversation with the client who was so happy that she might receive some help with her request. She is not working at the moment and is on Universal Credit. She struggles with anxiety, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and depression and is in the process of recovery for alcohol issues. Her ill health has also affected her mobility. She told me that the freezer section of her fridge/freezer has stopped working but as her likes her fridge she wants to request a free standing freezer. Thank you for considering this request.
£180 needed for clothes, food and travel
This gentleman is destitute and sleeping rough, following a refusal of his asylum claim. We will support him with a further application and receiving support as a victim of trafficking but this will take at least a month and in the meanwhile he needs help with buying some food, to be able to cover travel to legal appointments and to buy some new clothes as the ones he has are all really worn out.
£120 needed for food
B is always helping/ volunteering quietly in the background at church. She works full time as a carer. She gets no benefits despite having a low income. She broke her foot and now will only receive Statutory Sick Pay, which will just cover her rent but nothing else. If she tries to get Universal Credit she won't be able to get it for five weeks. She is hoping to be back at work in four weeks. People at church are helping her but she needs to be able to afford food for the next four weeks at least.
