£150 needed for a wardrobe
Could you support this single mum by helping to provide her with a wardrobe? Mum struggles with her mental health after fleeing an abusive relationship. Helping her to declutter and organise would have a positive affect on her mental health. Mum is not able to purchase the wardrobe herself as she is on Universal Credit which only covers the family's basic needs.
£200 needed for a sofa
Our beneficiary has recently moved into a permanent flat with her family, having been in different temporary accommodation for the past couple of years. She is delighted that, with this new flat, she will be able to provide stability and a comfortable environment for her family, but is having to furnish it from scratch on a very limited income. Our beneficiary is paying off some priority items that she purchased when she moved in. Her sofa, which is old in a poor state, is not very comfortable to sit on. Please can you help?

He relocated recently to be closer to extended family members for company and support. Our beneficiary is currently engaged in voluntary work. He has income from Universal Credit and is awaiting the outcome of his application for Personal Independence Payment.

£200 needed for driving lessons
R, who is an experienced driver from the time when he was in the army back in his home country, but despite this, needs to learn British rules and pass his test here. He has taken some lessons, but hasn't got the money to continue with more. R just needs four more lessons and the use of an instructor's car for the test. He wants to work, as he is on Universal Credit, but lives in a village and it is hard to find employment that he can easily access on the bus route within the operating hours.
£150 needed for a television
H has recently moved to the UK with his family and they are settling into their new life. He is currently unemployed and has limited English, which has made it difficult for him to find work. The children are still young and rely heavily on family support. As they are adjusting to their new environment, the family is seeking assistance to purchase a television. This would help with their children's entertainment and education, and assist in the father's effort to improve his English skills.
£155 needed for an outstanding electricity bill
This client. as single mother of one daughter aged eleven, is receiving a Universal Credit payment each month which does not cover her rent so she has been buying economical food. Mum has a large electricity bill and only pays £5 per month towards it. She has applied for Personal Independence Payment, due to various illnesses that she has, and has been advised by Social Services to wait for an adjudication first before they try to get Housing Benefit for her.
£200 needed for a washing machine
Our beneficiary is needing a new washing machine as their current one is broken down and is unrepairable. They are on Universal Credit, due to not being able to work at the moment, as they have a large fibroid and have been waiting for an operation date from the NHS over the past year. Unfortunately, this causes them to bleed heavily and, as a result of the broken washing machine, they are having to hand wash everything. This is time consuming and hard to do when they are in so much pain.
£160 needed for a freezer
One of our clients was homeless for a long time, but has recently been placed into accommodation. As they have just moved in, they don’t have any white goods at all. We are currently looking to support them with budgeting so that they can be in a better financial situation going forward, but would love to provide them with a freezer for their new home.
