£150 needed for an air conditioning unit
This family with three children were due to move into a new flat but were told last minute they would not be moving. Their current flat is cramped, in very poor condition and doesn't have windows that open. In the heat it's very hard to cool the flat, which is very difficult for them. A small air con unit would make a big difference. They cannot afford this themselves as Dad is unable to work due to a health condition and Mum works part time as she needs to care for her husband and children.
