£200 needed for a carpet fitting
H has complex health needs and is registered disabled. He has recently been supported into a property of his own. His only income is from benefits and he used what little he had saved on the house move. The property is owned by a local housing association who do not provide carpets in their properties. We can supply H with all the flooring he needs, if we can just get a little help with the fitting costs. Thank you for reading this request.
£160 needed for a new mattress
This lady has complex mental health issues which means she cannot work and has frequent hospital admissions. She receives Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit. She is however repaying debts. Her mattress is old and in such a poor state that she never gets a full night's sleep which does not help her mental condition. Please will you help her get a new one.
£200 needed for cost of carpet fitting
T is a care leaver who has lived on her own since the age of 16. In all that time she has never been able to afford to carpet her home. It's getting her down and she has been referred to us for support by the Community Mental Health team. Her only income is from benefits and she has no family to support her. We are able to provide the carpets she needs free of charge, if we can just get a little help with the cost of fitting. Thanks for reading this request.
£120 needed for clothes and shoes
A has arrived from Somalia in the last three months. He has few possessions, and receives the home office grant which can only be used for food and travel. We are seeking support for him to be able to access clothes and shoes as he seeks to become part of the local community.
£200 needed for a washing machine
A has just been offered a council flat and having been homeless has no furniture or white goods. Due to budget constraints the local council can only provide very limited support. A is on Universal Credit so is very limited as to what he can afford himself. He is determined to build a new life for himself in his new home. A washing machine would be a very helpful addition to his home as there is no nearby laundrette. Please help if you can. Thank you.
£140 needed for a laptop
We are supporting a 66 year old man who has fled to safety in the UK from Iraq. He has recently had to have eye surgery and this has made his situation even more difficult. He is finding it hard to complete work on his mobile phone due to the print size. He would really benefit from a laptop so that he can work towards fulfilling his ambition of working one day as a blacksmith.
£250 needed for an electric cooker
S is a single mum with four children aged from 8 months old - 13 years old. Her 3 year old has autism and is non verbal.

She would really appreciate any help towards a new cooker, especially with such a large family. Please can you help?

R is a lone mum in full-time employment caring for her six year old child with disabilities. R has recently fled domestic abuse and moved into a new home which is currently without carpets, curtains and basic household goods.

R is requesting support to buy carpets for the bedrooms at her new home.
