£200 needed for a cupboard, sofa, and study table
This woman has been granted permanent accommodation after spending almost two years in a refuge. This is a significant milestone for her, and she is incredibly happy to finally be taking steps towards independence. However, the property provided is unfurnished, meaning she is moving in without some of the basic items. She is currently in need of support to purchase a cupboard for storage, a sofa, and a study table. Your support would help her begin turning this empty property into a real home.
£200 needed for a removal van
This applicant's partner left her with debt and no child maintenance, which has significantly impacted her mental health and left her struggling to cope. As a result, her home has become very cluttered, though she has been receiving support from her housing association, her church, a food pantry, and an animal charity who have helped with her cat's neutering and vaccinations. She has also received help to begin decluttering and make her home a safer environment for herself and her daughter. There are still a number of items that need to be removed, but she does not have the funds to arrange this. She is asking for help towards the cost of a removal van so that she can clear the remaining clutter and make a fresh start for herself and her daughter.
£200 needed for a washing machine
Our client is long-term disabled and on benefits. Due to her health problems she makes heavy use of her washing machine and this has recently broken down. She does not have the means to replace it, so we would like ask your help to fund a new machine for her. This will enable her to stay well-presented and retain her dignity. Thank you.
£200 needed for a washing machine
D is being supported with drug rehabilitation, and has recently moved into a new property. She has made significant positive steps towards her future, and reduced her drug use. She has a very limited income, and her new flat has no washing machine, which makes keeping her clothes and bedding clean very difficult. Your help to buy a washing machine would help her to take pride in her appearance again, and support her in forming good routines for a healthy lifestyle.
£120 needed for clothes
This woman has recently moved into her permanent accommodation after a long period of instability. This is a huge milestone for her and marks an important step towards rebuilding her independence, safety, and confidence. However, starting again has brought many unexpected costs, and she is currently struggling to afford basic clothing. She needs support to buy essential everyday clothes so that she can feel comfortable, presentable, and more settled as she begins this new chapter.
£200 needed for three single bed bases
This single mother of three has been homeless and in temporary accommodation for 14 years after her file was lost by the housing department. In June the family was re-housed to a pleasant flat with three bedrooms, giving everyone more privacy and dignity. They are now struggling to furnish their home and we are asking for your help to buy them three single bed bases for the children.
£185 needed for a refurbished laptop
M is an asylum seeker from West Africa. She has escaped from a very difficult situation to seek safety in the UK. Her asylum case is taking a long time to resolve, and while waiting, she's making positive choices with her life. She has been studying maths, English and IT, has gained qualifications and has further vocational courses lined up. However, she doesn't have and can't afford a computer. Having a laptop will make so much difference to her studies and success and open her options in life.
£100 needed for a vacuum cleaner
We have been supporting a family who have recently suffered a sudden bereavement, and mum is now in debt due to having the expense of getting plane tickets to fly back to South Africa. Their vacuum is on its last legs and mum expressed that she would really benefit from a new vacuum but her finances are very restricted. Safe Families would love to bless mum with a new vacuum before support closes.

This single older lady with multiple physical disabilities is on Universal Credit and disability payments. She is managing with her budgeting and buying food but her cooker is broken and she hasn't got enough money leftover at the end of the month to be able to afford to replace it. Can you please help?
