£200 needed for flooring
Mum is at home with a child who has anxiety based school refusal (so mum cannot work). Universal Credit doesn't stretch enough for her to save anything outside of covering necessary bills. Mum and daughter need help to replace their flooring that has recently been damaged by a dog. New flooring would prevent further damage. They have limited support and are isolated in their community.
£200 needed for a washing machine
We have been journeying with this client for 18 months. She has experienced physical, sexual, and psychological abuse over a sustained period but is now open to ask for help, although this makes her feel vulnerable and scared. Her second-hand washing machine has broken and it would be a precious gift to provide her with a new one and meet a very practical and immediate need, easing some of the pressure she is currently carrying.
£200 needed for paint and carpets for children's bedrooms
This family of four fled violence in Sri Lanka and have been granted leave to remain in the UK. They have been given a council house and will move in next week. They have managed to buy enough paint to clean up the living room and kitchen but the children's bedrooms are dirty and need paint and carpets. They need furniture but are happy to wait until they find jobs. Both parents are actively seeking work now they are allowed to.
£200 needed for a washing machine
Y is a single parent with two children. He is in significant financial hardship following illness in the family. His washing machine broke eight months ago which has led to him handwashing his and his children’s clothes in the shower as he cannot afford to go to the laundrette. Y would be incredibly grateful for any support towards the cost of a new washing machine so he does not need to continue to handwash these clothes. Thank you
£200 needed for a TV and support with energy and food
This young person has recently moved into supported accommodation. She suffers immensely with her mental health and would appreciate any support to buy a second hand TV so she can keep her mind occupied and feel less lonely during this daunting time. She has never lived alone so budgeting skills will be something she will work on with her support worker. Living alone can be difficult so the rest of the funds will be used to support her with energy and food while she learns this vital skill.
