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 a tumble dryer
A has a new baby, and is on a very low income. She is struggling with the amount of washing and drying. Her flat is small, and so there is always damp washing hanging around the limited space. This means the air is always damp, and with the limited air circulation in the flat, she is running a high risk of both harmful mould, and negative respiratory effects for her and the baby. Constantly being surrounded by washing also heightens stress and contributes to a feeling of being overwhelmed.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
Our client has experienced a long period of homelessness, living in a series of temporary accommodations, but now has a long term tenancy. Her serious health problems, including minimal vision and mobility issues, mean neither she nor her partner can work. They are living on income support and so cannot furnish their new home. We have been able to provide them with an electric cooker but would also like to get them a small fridge freezer so they can store food safely.
£100 needed for a bed frame
A is a single mother who has currently moved to new accommodation. She is not permitted to work and does not have access to any governmental support. A would like to buy a double bed frame as she has a mattress. Please can you help her with this?
£200 needed for a cooker
P has problems with his eyesight and hearing which make daily living more difficult. He has been living in temporary furnished accommodation, but has now moved into an adapted property of his own. The new flat is unfurnished and P has no furniture of his own to take with him. He receives minimal benefits which barely cover his daily loving costs, so can't afford to buy an oven himself. Your help would mean P could cook hot meals rather than surviving on cold food and expensive takeaways.
£200 needed for a laptop
Z comes to our food bank, having been housed after a period of severe depression and homelessness, following the deaths of his father and best friend. He was run over by a bus a couple of years ago and has taken many months to recover. Z is now receiving the medical help he needs both physically and mentally to address the post traumatic stress disorder he suffers. He feels ready to go back to work, but will need a laptop for his area of expertise. Please can you help him to rebuild his life?
£200 needed for a double bed and mattress
This gentleman, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder traits, has returned home to the UK after living in Malawi. He has been staying with his sister and her family for a year as he is unemployed and has been unable to afford accommodation. This gentleman has now been allocated social housing and is due to move in. He has been successfully sourcing economical second-hand furniture and white goods. However, he has been unable to afford a bed frame and mattress, and we would like to provide them for him.
£175 needed for a freezer
S was made redundant about eighteen months ago and has since struggled with her mental health. She receives benefits, but is finding it difficult to make her monthly payments last more than a couple of weeks. Your support to buy a freezer would mean that S could buy in bulk then store food in the freezer, and also allow her to batch cook meals and store them, helping her to make her limited income stretch further.
£200 needed for a cooker
M is a single mother who recently moved into the area. She is currently unemployed and receiving Universal Credit as her only source of income. The local authority has allocated a new unfurnished flat, which she is now trying to make safe and suitable for her child. M is desperate for a cooker as she is struggling to manage day-to-day living without this essential kitchen appliance. A new cooker would help her to cook healthy and affordable dishes for her child.
£150 needed for a pram
M and her husband have recently moved to the country from Bangladesh and are expecting their first baby next month. They have limited funds as they are in the country on the husband's working visa and have no recourse to public funds. They live in a room in a multi-occupancy house and have no transport so have to walk everywhere. Home Church has helped with many baby essentials, but the couple desperately need a pram to go out with the baby. They are very grateful for any help.
