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.

£100 needed for a hoover
Our client is a man of middle age who has been in supported housing for nine months and is now moving into a new flat. He has also dealt with a number of long term challenges, including difficult family bereavements and housing insecurity. Money for a good quality hoover would greatly help him settle into his new flat, and reduce anxieties around his move in.
£200 needed for winter clothes
M, her husband and two children have recently come to the UK from East Africa and been housed in emergency accommodation. They are looking for work, but in the meantime they have needed help to navigate the system of benefits, utilities and all that comes with being in a new country. M and her family need help to buy warm clothes as they don't have enough.
£175 needed for a toddler bed and mattress
We have a client who has hit financial hardship. She has three children, two with disabilities and one without. One of them has severe autism and, because of how much he moves, falls out of bed at night a lot. Mum would like a toddler bed with sides to stop this from happening and causing injuries to her child. Sadly she can't afford one so it would be amazing if we could raise funds for her.
£90 needed for a vacuum cleaner
This lady has bipolar disorder and has signs of early onset dementia. She receives Personal Independence Payment and Universal credit. She has recently come out of two months in hospital to find that her vacuum cleaner has gone from her flat. Please will you help her get a new one?
£200 needed for living room and hall carpets
This family was evicted from its rental on a no fault basis. They were homeless and were directed to a hotel until the council moved them to a two bedroom flat. They have two daughters, aged 5 and 7, who are both autistic and developmentally delayed, both non-verbal and still wearing nappies. Both are at school and one is a type 1 diabetic. Money is tighter than ever. They need carpets it would be amazing to be able to bless them.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
This lady has bipolar disorder and has recently been diagnosed with early onset dementia. She receives Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit. Her fridge freezer has broken and she relies on it to shop economically in bulk and batch cook. Please can you help her replace this item?
£200 needed for carpet fitting
S is suffering from lung cancer and has been referred to us by Macmillan as she is living in a house without carpets. She isn't able to work, her sole income is from benefits, and she has no savings or family to help her. We would really like to help S carpet her house and make it more homely for the time she has left. Thank you reading this request - any help will be truly appreciated.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
S is currently not able to work due to poor mental health and post traumatic stress disorder. He has been homeless and sofa surfing for over two years and has finally been granted a place of his own but is moving in with virtually nothing. His only income is from benefits and he has no savings or family to support him. The flat S is moving into is not carpeted and has concrete floors. We can support him with free carpets but need a little help with the fitting costs. Hoping our kind donors will support us.
