£150 needed for a wardrobe
This single mum and her two teenagers have just moved into a new council flat. They are delighted to have their own space; however, the flat is unfurnished and has no flooring. It is costing a lot of money to make the flat into a liveable space. They are living out of a suitcase and are in need of a wardrobe to fit both teenagers' clothes in. The family cannot afford this itself, as mum has health difficulties that mean she is unable to work, so the family has very limited funds.
£150 needed for a dining table and chairs
K and her adult daughter recently moved from the Channel Islands to London. K uses a wheelchair and both have complex health conditions, leaving them exhausted even after short trips for essentials. Delays in benefits have caused arrears and severe financial hardship, and they are overwhelmed by housing and medical issues. Mum needs a dining table of the correct height so her wheelchair can fit under. This move has created many challenges, and they lack very important key furniture for K's needs.
£200 needed for an electric cooker
H is a vulnerable single adult who struggles with her mental health. The property she is living in doesn't have a cooker and her income doesn't stretch to bigger purchases. We have helped H with a starter pack through another charity we work with, but wondered whether you could help us to buy a cooker for her.

£200 needed for a double bed and mattress
This lady has a thirteen year old child and has lived in temporary hostel accommodation for over two years, having fled domestic violence. We have known her, as a church, through our support and outreach programmes. This lady is now thrilled that she has been allocated a home by the local authority but has not furniture and would appreciate a double bed and mattress.
£200 needed for food and clothes
T, who is a mother of two children and the victim of a violent domestic abuse experience, was referred by the police. Mum and her older son are attending court against the father who was sending him death threats, and had also used T's credit card indiscriminately. She is on Universal Credit welfare benefit. Now that they are separated, mum needs support to buy rugs, beds, food and clothes. Her priority is a voucher for food and clothes for her children. Please can you donate to change the life of this family?
£200 needed for a laptop
M, who has been living in the UK for seven months after seeking refuge from Afghanistan, is currently enjoying the opportunity to study, which she has not had before. She is studying entry level college and has applied to volunteer with Age Concern. A laptop will help with all her study for college and any training she will need to do for volunteer work. M only receives Universal Credit which covers basic living. Please can you help her access a laptop so that she can continue to help herself?
