£200 needed for a fridge freezer
N, who has massive debts including rent and Council Tax, has been signed off work and has recently applied for Universal Credit. She aims to clear these, despite her income, but is looking to return to work soon. N has been using local food banks. With very limited funds, she has not been able to replace her fridge freezer, which broke almost two months ago, increasing her overall expenditure on food. N is very worried about this, understanding that she cannot rely on food banks forever.
£200 needed for a sofa bed
A is an older gentleman who is living alone in a small studio flat. Due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and limited mobility, he is unable to work and spends most of his time at home. A currently sleeps on an old sofa which is no longer suitable for proper rest. A family member connected to our church reached out to ask if we could help. Funding for a basic sofa bed would give A a safe and comfortable place to sleep and greatly improve his daily well-being.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
S experienced domestic abuse which has left her suffering with mental health challenges and struggling financially. She had to leave her job to care for her daughter who was diagnosed with mental health difficulties, including an eating disorder. S is having to rely on food parcels.

£200 needed for a tumble dryer
Z is a refugee from Iraq who has been in our area for four years and needs support to buy a tumble dryer as he has moved to settled accommodation. He is still struggling with the English language, and has many physical and mental health problems, meaning he cannot work. Z and his wife, who have two sons aged 11 and 7, are on a limited income and there is not much left after paying rent and essential bills. His older son has Autism. They need to turn around uniform quickly in a damp house with no outdoor drying space.
£200 needed for downstairs flooring
A is a single mother with four children. After a long wait for council accommodation that is big enough, she has finally been offered a house but there is no flooring and concrete floors downstairs. A is in a lot of pain from a medical condition and is on the waiting list for an operation. She is on benefits and unable to work because of the condition. She would be very grateful for any donations to make this possible.
£150 needed for a gas bill
J is a pensioner on a limited budget. With the pension rising and the tax threshold not increasing, she is now having to pay income tax on an already tight household budget. J does a lot of work in the community and never asks for help, but things are slightly worrying for her. If she can have a little help now, with the summer months coming, she can hopefully get back on track.
£200 needed for a washing/ dryer machine
This lady with mental health issues has recently moved into new accommodation. She has been able to purchase some essentials and we have helped her with other basic household items. She is unable to fund everything she needs to make a comfortable living environment. We would like to provide her with a washer dryer in order to keep her clothes clean but additionally to keep her home damp and mould free, which has been problematic due to drying clothes, bedding and towels in a small flat.
£200 needed for a sofa, microwave and rugs
This young lady and her two children have been living in a homeless hostel but are now moving to a flat. Most of her belongings were placed in an unsuitable storage facility while she was in the hostel and they are mouldy and not fit for purpose. She is in receipt of Universal Credit and has sourced some furniture but cannot fund everything she needs to provide a comfortable living environment for her family. We would like to give her a sofa, microwave and two large rugs.
