£200 needed for lounge carpet
E, a single mum with five young children, has just moved into permanent housing but the place has no carpets. She receives Universal Credit but, due to moving costs, is unable to afford to buy carpets. As the colder weather is approaching E is keen to get the place carpeted so it is nice and warm for the children. Please can you help?
£200 needed for a condenser tumble dryer
The family has three children, the eldest has a number of complex needs including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, sleep apnoea and Pica. As a result his bedding needs washed and dried daily. There is no place to dry bedding at the home. The family has no access to benefits or Local Authority resources because of their work visa. A tumble dryer could make a big difference to support family life.
£200 needed for a tall fridge
Foodbank client A is a refugee with no access to public funds and is experiencing significant financial hardship. She currently has no fridge, making it difficult to safely store fresh food and leftovers and increasing the risk of food waste. With her extremely limited income and lack of access to public support, she is unable to purchase one herself. Funding towards a fridge would provide A with greater food security, dignity and independence.
£120 needed for supermarket vouchers
S receives Personal Independence Payment due to physical and mental health conditions and needs overnight care. Following her father's death and the challenges arising from her conditions, she experienced significant grief and accrued debt, which she is actively repaying. These repayments place considerable strain on her limited income. A supermarket voucher would provide valuable short-term relief, helping S and her two children afford food while she works towards greater financial stability.
£200 needed for food, phone credit, toiletries, and clothes
Y has had no income for 9 weeks because he didn't understand the admin that he had to complete for Universal Credit. He'd like money to pay for his daily needs. Y received a supermarket voucher from a local charity, which helped him up til now. He isn't familiar with the food at foodbanks because he's from outside Europe and would like to be able to buy food that he knows how to cook. Y'd like toiletries, phone credit and clothes to keep in touch with his support network and be hygienic and appropriately dressed.
£170 needed for two baby gates and baby monitor
Mum has recently welcomed her new baby and is working hard to care for her three children while managing significant physical and mental health challenges. One of her older children has additional needs and requires constant supervision due to limited awareness of danger and impulsive behaviours. A baby gate and baby monitor would help keep the baby safe and give Mum greater reassurance. Due to ongoing financial pressures Mum is unable to afford these essential items herself.
£195 needed for baby essentials and towels
S is a single mother who welcomed her third baby in August. She is struggling to breastfeed as her newborn was born with teeth and would benefit from a breast pump to express milk. She also needs a cot and bedding to provide a safe sleeping space for her baby. In addition, her two-year-old child has eczema and has been advised not to share towels or washcloths. Your donations would help the family purchase essential baby items, towels and bedding, improving their health and wellbeing
£200 needed for a gas cooker
C is a single mother caring for her triplets and has recently been provided with a property by the local council. Although securing a home is a very positive step for the family, the property has been provided largely empty. One of the most urgent items the family needs is a cooker. Without suitable cooking facilities, C is unable to prepare proper hot meals for her children at home, adding both difficulty and expense at a time when her finances are already extremely stretched. Thank you
£200 needed for a washing machine
J fled domestic abuse, and after a stay in temporary hostel accommodation, she has secured a new social housing property of her own. J has a very low income, surviving on Universal Credit at the moment, and due to moving and having to pay rent in advance, she has even less money than usual. Her new property has no washing machine, and there's no way she can afford to buy one. She is also struggling to afford a launderette at the moment, so keeping her clothes and bedding clean is very difficult.
