Donors read stories of need and give through the Acts 435 platform
Partner contacts person in need and gives the item so desperately needed
It's meant that he can stay warm without worrying about high heating bills and without worrying about filling up a hot water bottle that's only going to warm up one small area at a time. It's safer for him as well.

£175 needed for a wardrobe, drawers and microwave
F and her two daughters have found a private rental flat following over three years of sofa surfing with friends and family. This was a result of an abusive relationship breakdown and has been a turbulent time for them. Mum is doing really well setting a home up for the girls to move in permanently but would love some help with a microwave, a wardrobe and some drawers. Thanks for caring and helping.
£160 needed for clothes, shoes and personal items
M is an asylum seeker from Eritrea. Her life was in danger because of the political situation there. She was not able to bring many clothes from Eritrea and has a very small allowance from the Home Office. M needs clothing and shoes suitable for the British weather. She also needs toiletries and hair care items as she cannot afford to buy them. We would like to buy these for her.
£200 needed for a washing machine
L is single mum to 3 teenage children & has been living in temporary accommodation for over a year. The family were evicted from their previous home due to being unable to pay the rent and accruing debt. The bailiffs took all of their possessions so they have nothing for their new home. L is currently unable to work due to poor mental health from the stress of her situation & is dependent on basic benefits but she is desperate for a washing machine as she cannot afford launderette services.
£200 needed for a replacement window and ring doorbell
We are supporting our client with debt advice as she is really struggling financially after her partner left her and there is only one wage coming into the home. J is single and has no family for support. During last weekend a crowd of young adults congregated in the street where she lives and a stone was thrown which went through her window. J was terrified to go outside. The police couldn't identify anybody. J cannot afford to replace the glass, and also a ring doorbell will help her feel safe.
£200 needed for A washing Machine
J`s coercive partner has finally left the home but sadly he has taken all the white goods with him as he claims he bought them all. J has not got the strength to argue with him. J works full time although she is in agony every day as she is waiting for a hip replacement operation. J cannot get to the launderette with the pain she is in and she is struggling to stand at the kitchen sink to hand-wash. J`s budget is down to the penny and she cannot afford to replace the washing machine.Thank you!
£200 needed for a cooker
L has been staying in temporary accommodation but has just secured a flat of his own to move into. He has a small amount of furniture to take with him, but he doesn't have a cooker, and his low income doesn't leave him enough after his daily living costs to save towards one. Your support to buy a cooker would mean he could cook and eat proper meals, rather than having to survive on cold food.
£200 needed for a washing machine
J suffers with mental health problems and struggles to leave his flat. He can't work, and his current benefits are not enough for his basic needs - he has been using food pantries to survive. He is being supported by a social prescriber to make a PIP (disability benefits) application, which should mean he can afford food, but he doesn't have a washing machine and can't afford a launderette so can't keep his clothes and bedding clean. Your support to buy one would help him to look after himself.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
M and her four children were made homeless by her private landlord, and had to move to a property in a nearby town. One of her children has additional needs. Her new flat is unfurnished, and she is having to scrape together furniture and household goods from wherever she can at low or zero cost - she has a very low income which barely covers her daily living costs. She has been unable to find a cooker, so your help to buy one would make a huge difference to the family.
£200 needed for a TV, sofa, bed and kitchen appliances
This young person has fled from a war zone and has been sofa surfing and has no household items or fund to buy anything now he is in a home in supported accommodation. This young person, who is eighteen years old and struggles with his mental health, has just got the keys to his new home, but is worried that he cannot afford a bed, sofa, towels, curtains and a television. This will support him to learn independence skills and enable him to live semi-independently.
