Recently, her cooker stopped working. J is unable to prepare proper hot meals at home. Replacing the cooker is a challenge. The cost of buying and installing a new one is far beyond what she can afford, leaving her in a difficult position and in need of support.
£200 needed for food and rent
D and his family have found themselves struggling since D lost his job. They are behind on their rent and have run out of food. The local food banks have been helping but they have limits on the number of visits a family can make and so this option is not available at the moment. D has a wife and 2 children and we are helping them as much as we can to try and buy them some time to find another job without having to worry about rent or feeding the family. D and his family are very grateful.
£130 needed for laptop
One of our volunteers is supporting an asylum seeker who has recently arrived after a lengthy journey to the UK fleeing the violence and turmoil in Sudan. In order to be able to settle here and get a job he needs to significantly improve his English. He appears very committed to doing this and a laptop would enable him to do this online and at home in addition to the classes in which he plans to enrol. Might you be able to help us to help him?
£180 needed for baby stroller and essentials
A lives in temporary accommodation with his wife and two children; their youngest was born on 24 March 2026.
