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 food, gas and an electric bill
B, a single mother of a teenager, suffers from ill-health, is in a lot of pain and is on the waiting list for an operation on her knee, which means she can't look for work. Finances are tight, especially with a hungry teenager in the house. Christians Against Poverty has helped her tackle the debts she had with her utility bills and she lives within her budget. We would like to support B with bills this month and a food voucher, to encourage her and to show her God's love in a practical way.
£200 needed for a washing machine
M left home over three years ago, as the result of domestic abuse from a sibling. She was in the Territorial Army for three years until recently, and was then moved to a one bedroom flat. The flat has no furniture or white goods. M is currently struggling to find work and is dependent on standard Universal Credit. Her years of abuse have left her feeling unable to trust others and very isolated with low self esteem. £200 is needed for a washing machine to help with her resettlement and a fresh start.
£120 needed for winter clothing
A, a young refugee from Sudan with no family support and very limited income, is facing the winter without proper clothing. He urgently needs warm boots and a winter coat to stay safe and healthy. A clothing voucher would provide essential support, helping him manage the harsh weather and reducing daily hardship during the cold months. This assistance would ensure A stays warm and supported, and is able to continue building stability as he adjusts to life in the UK.
£200 needed for a deposit and rent
Our client, I, fled Iran and has recently been reunited with his adult son in the UK after they both were granted refugee status. They have both been homeless and are each other's only family in the UK. They have found a two bedroom house and need £200 to complete the payment for a deposit and rent in advance. This would allow them to live together after being separated and living precariously for over two years. The stability would allow dad and son to settle, live together and look for work to improve their futures.
£200 needed for a mattress and clothes
L has been engaging with our charity for three years and has recently sought support with her job search. She experienced a bed bug infestation and had to dispose of many belongings. L is currently sleeping on a bed base without a mattress, causing significant back pain. Support to purchase a new mattress and clothes would greatly help her recovery and enable her to focus on finding employment.
£200 needed for an air-fryer and table top dishwasher
M has cancer and is finding it difficult to do daily tasks around the flat. She is currently in respite after a torrid few months suffering from the after effects of the treatment. M, who lives alone, is confined to the flat and is in poor health, so even simple activities, such as bending to use the oven, are very painful. An air-fryer and table top dishwasher will make life easier for M to maintain her independence.
£200 needed for food vouchers and utility bills
C is an extrovert and loving person who cared for his mother until she died. He is now struggling to make ends meet as it is hard to get back into work after being out of it for so long. C first volunteered at our food bank and is now in a volunteer programme with employment support, hoping it will result in a job. In the meantime, he will appreciate your help with food vouchers and funds towards his gas and electricity costs. Thank you!
£160 needed for clothes, shoes and toiletries
A is an asylum seeker from Somalia who fled her home country as she rejected a forced marriage. This meant she was in danger of domestic slavery, physical harm or even death. She is living in an asylum hotel and receives less than £9 per week from the Home Office. A is in need of waterproof clothing and footwear suitable for the British weather. She also needs basic clothing, such as underwear, and personal items, such as hair care products and toiletries. We would like to buy these for her.
£200 needed for an oven
A is a single gentleman with severe health concerns. He has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is very frail. He has been living in a furnished property, but this was unsuitable for his health conditions. A has now moved into a new property but there is no furniture. He is only in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, which just covers basic needs. A has been able to access some items of furniture but is still without an oven. Are you able to help?
