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.

£200 needed for two single beds and mattresses
This young lady and her family have moved into the area due to difficulties with her neighbours. She has a cognitive impairment due to a bleed on the brain, and struggles with memory loss, poor concentration and mood disturbances. They did not have the funds to bring all their belongings and are furnishing their home when they get paid. The two adults and two young children are sleeping on a sofa, meaning the children are going to school tired. We would like to provide the children with beds and mattresses.
£200 needed for a cooker
Y, her partner and two children, aged 11 and 14, have had a difficult time in temporary accommodation for over five years, but have now been allocated a permanent place. Unfortunately it is unequipped and unfurnished, and they are dependent on Universal Credit and Child Benefit, but hope that now they are settled, they will be able to find work. Meanwhile they are both volunteering to build up their CVs. The lack of cooking facilities is further straining their limited budget and they need a cooker.
£200 needed for fitting charges for a dual fuel cooker
Mum, who cares for three daughters, receives Universal Credit and works when she can. She works hard to provide a loving and safe home for her daughters, a home where they feel secure and cherished. Mum uses an air fryer for meals which is restrictive, time-consuming and more stressful. Mum now has a dual fuel cooker to provide healthy, home-cooked meals with greater ease. However, she needs help with the fitting charges. Praying that our kind and generous donors can help
£200 needed for carpet fitting.
B is moving into her first home with an eight month old baby girl. She had to give up work when she had her baby and her finances are extremely tight, her only income coming from benefits at the moment. Her property isn't carpeted and B is worried about the safety of her baby as she is now crawling and the bare floorboards are a potential hazard. Please can you help us to make her home safe and warm for this little family?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
£200 needed for Council Tax arrears
M is really struggling to pay her bills at the moment which is really affecting her mental health. Her wages just about cover the bills, but she fell behind due to needing to get her car repaired.
