£200 needed for a bed, table and 2 chairs, wardrobe or chest of drawers

£200 needed for a toddler mattress and a freezer
P is a newly single dad. He has two boys aged 4 and 3. He has struggled to find work which fits around his sons and is struggling financially due to the split being difficult regarding the children's benefits. One of his sons needs a new toddler mattress and he would be very grateful for this. He is also in need of a freezer as the freezer part of his fridge freezer is no longer working; this would really help with batch cooking and being able to cook with more fresh produce to freeze.
£200 needed for a washing machine and food voucher
M is a single mother of 2 children, she has just successfully completed her nursing course and actively in search of a job.

£200 needed for a fridge/freezer

He is very keen to have everything in order as soon as possible.
