£200 needed for carpet fitting
S has recently been made homeless after her private landlord evicted her because she wanted to sell the house. Due to her health needs S has now been offered a bungalow with a local housing association. Her only income is from benefits, she has no savings or family to help her: the bungalow has no carpets down and S is worried about the effect of her health and heating bills. It would be just amazing this Easter time if a kind donor would consider helping S. Thanks for reading this.
£100 needed for a mobile phone
T is a single man who has recently moved from London following threats of violence. He is currently waiting for an assessment of neurodiversity. His mobile phone is broken which means he cannot access his Universal Credit journal, it is limiting his social integration and job searches. We are requesting support to purchase a mobile phone. Can you help?
£200 needed for a fridge-freezer
A is a mum with four children living at home aged between 12-19. She has Ménière's disease which means that she is unable to work as she gets dizziness and is prone to falling. Her fridge-freezer is currently broken and as she is only in receipt of Universal Credit this covers necessary items but she is unable to replace the fridge-freezer. This means the family are struggling to have decent meals. Are you able to help?
£200 needed for a new guitar
P has spent several years sofa surfing or rough sleeping before recently entering supported accommodation. P has managed to ‘get by’ for all his adult life by busking in the streets with just his guitar. Unfortunately, P’s guitar that he has had for many years is now broken and in need of replacement. Busking and playing his guitar is P’s passion and gives him a great sense of satisfaction. It is also important for his mental health due to him feeling “comfortable” when playing his guitar. Can you help?
£200 needed for a washing machine
I is a single man who has recently had to separate from his partner and children and is living in a small privately rented unfurnished flat. He is currently unable to work due to his physical and mental health and is therefore dependent on universal credit with no savings. He is struggling financially from week to week. He would benefit greatly from having a washing machine as he cannot afford launderette services and is feeling bad about himself because his clothes are dirty.
£200 needed for food and warm clothes
K is a mother of 4 children. She is a refugee from Iraq. She fled from Iraq because of family conflict. She receives very little with which to feed her family and provide sufficient warm clothes. A son goes to nursery twice a week on which days she goes to college to learn English. She looks forward to the day when she can speak English and earn money to care for her children. She needs your help to donate funds that will help her get a voucher for food and for warm clothes for her children.
£200 needed for a laptop
K and her family are refugees with a permit to stay. She is currently studying Art and Design, as well as English and Maths. A lot of her work requires a computer and she is currently having to go to the library to complete homework tasks. The household only receive Universal Credit, and are unable to afford a laptop to enable K to do work at home. Are you able to help?
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
C is a single mum with two secondary aged children living in a small one bedroom flat. They have a small fridge but would really like a taller fridge to help them keep the kitchen tidy and to store food and drink. C has complex health issues and is unable to work so money is tight for the family. Any donations towards a fridge would be very much appreciated.
£200 needed for carpets
M and H, with their young son, recently received permission to stay in the UK and have just moved into their first long-term accommodation. Unfortunately all carpets were stripped out after the last tenant left and the policy of the social landlord is not to provide carpets. Due to their income being from benefits they are unable to afford to buy carpets and turn this house into a home. Any help would be gratefully received.
