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 a cooker
M has been a resident with us over a number of years. We have supported him out of homelessness twice and now, after a long period of stability, he has a new flat that he will be able to live in independently, and a job that he enjoys. M has come so far. We provide six months support after he leaves our service and, as part of this, we are helping him kit out his new flat. One of the main items he needs is a cooker and we are, therefore, asking if you could please help us by funding this for him.
£200 needed for a lounge carpet
This couple and their children, who are working with our Christians Against Poverty team, were evicted from their home last year when the landlord sold the property, and have been in temporary housing since then. They have three children, one who is profoundly disabled. The family has now been offered a council house but it comes without any carpets. They are actively working with us to try and sort out their debts. Both parents struggle with mental and physical health challenges which means they cannot currently work. Please can you help them carpet their lounge?
£200 needed for a cooker

£200 needed for carpet fitting
G is terminally ill with prostate cancer and has been referred to us by the Palliative Care team. When they visited recently, they noticed his flat was completely uncarpeted. They flagged this as an issue but G cannot afford the cost of carpeting. We can provide him with carpets free of charge, and would love to make the time he has left as comfortable as possible. We are hoping our kind donors will support this request. Thanks for reading.

This single mum who lives in Derby has two children with additional needs and is struggling to manage.

T and her husband, who have a five month old baby, are seeking asylum and T's husband is currently participating in a range of voluntary activities.

£200 needed for carpet fitting
J has significant disabilities and has been forced to move into a local Housing Association bungalow that is more suitable for her needs. Unfortunately the property isn't carpeted and J is not in a position financially to be able to afford the cost of putting carpets down. We have an amazing offer of free carpets, but we need a little help with the cost of fitting them. Praying our kind donors will support us.
£200 needed for six months community gym membership
M, who has a history of mental health issues and is unable to work, due to this and physical illness, is reliant on Universal Credit. Her GP has advised that exercise would be helpful, especially swimming. She has a plan to try and get herself fit for work, and would appreciate help short-term with the gym fees. M hopes that exercising on a regular basis will help her recovery and that once she is employed, she can then pay her own gym fees. Thank you for your support.
£200 needed for a bedroom carpet
Our client works but her rent has almost doubled since she moved in six years ago and this has made her finances very difficult. Due to a period of unemployment, she ended up in debt and is working with us to sort this out. Our client has never had a carpet in her bedroom and it is just bare concrete which makes it a very chilly space. It would be wonderful to get it carpeted properly and save her some money on her energy bills.
