This lady has recently been released from prison and has been placed in sheltered accommodation due to her severe mental health issues. She has very few belongings and nowhere to store her clothes properly. We would like to provide her with a chest of drawers, a microwave, food parcels and towels. These small, but important items will support this lady's sense of stability and independence as she continues her recovery journey.

We are appealing for support to help a single mother who is currently facing significant challenges due to mental health difficulties and debt. Our team is actively assisting her with managing her debts, and during this process we discovered that mum does not have a bed and is unable to afford one. We are seeking to raise funds to purchase a suitable bed and mattress for her so she can have a safe and comfortable place to rest. Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support.

This young man, who regularly comes into our centre for food, warmth and company, is alone with no family or support group. He has lived on the streets for a while, but has been quite unwell recently. We would like to provide him with some fresh clean clothes and three nights respite in a local Bed and Breakfast.

This client has had a difficult time growing up, as he has been in and out of care and prison. He was most recently released from prison in the summer of this year and was living in approved premises in North West London. Last month our client was housed, is now settled and has new opportunities. He has just completed a forklift training course and has been accepted into culinary school in February 2026. A double mattress, pillows and bedding would be a great start to building his new home environment. Thank you.

This lady has arrived with her family after fleeing Ukraine. The family has very little money to spare and would like to make the allocated accommodation more homely and practical. A shelving unit, a hall table, plus a dining table and chairs will allow the family to store items and eat meals together.

M, our client, is an asylum seeker who arrived in our area two months ago, having left his family in Kuwait, and receives £9 per week in financial support. This client has engaged with our organisation, attending different activities such as English language classes, chess club and lunch, sport and cultural events each week. M needs help to buy clothes as he doesn't have any, and would be very grateful for your support.

Thank you in advance for reading the story of our client. J is sixty in March and about to go into hospital to have major surgery to remove two benign brain tumours. She is worried sick - it has been life changing for her, having had to give up working. To top things off, J has also recently split from her partner and next week moves into a new flat. Unfortunately the flat isn’t carpeted and we would love to be able to carpet it before she comes home from hospital. We have free carpets, but are praying our kind donors will help with the fitting cost.

This young lady, a refugee on her own in this country, has just been permitted asylum and now finds herself moving out of a hotel into her own accommodation. She has no funds to buy the essential items needed for her new home. We would like to provide this young lady with a bedside table, bedding and towels, crockery and cutlery, cooking utensils and food.

G and his wife, who have recently been given a social housing property after a period of homelessness, lost their previous home due to his severe mental health issues and his wife's cancer diagnosis. Neither of them are able to work and his wife is very frail. She is not a British citizen so does not qualify for benefits. We are supporting them through food bank and other sources. The house has no floor covering so they want to prioritise having carpet in the bedroom.

A, the mother of four children, has been the victim of a domestic violence incidence. She is now separated and has the responsibility of caring for these children. A is unemployed and relies on Universal Credit welfare benefit which is inadequate for her family needs. Your donation will help change her life, providing her with a voucher to buy food and warm clothes for her family and pay her debt for energy bills. Thank you.

B, who had a stroke and has prostate cancer, is completely dependent on his wife for care. Unfortunately, mistakes were made in his application for the right to remain in the UK, so it was turned down and he cannot make another application for twelve months. B has no income of his own, and the couple are living on his wife's benefits. He is desperately in need of shoes, warm clothing and underwear. B also needs to get to appointments, but has no money for travel so needs his Oyster card topping up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Our client, B, is an asylum seeker who arrived in our area seven months ago, having left his family in Syria, and receives £9 per week in financial support. He has engaged with our organisation, attending different activities such as English language classes, chess club and lunch, sport and cultural events each week. K 's phone is not working and he would be very grateful for your support in enabling him to replace his phone.

This lady and her husband were made homeless after he lost his job and could not pay the rent. They have two young children and another due in the summer. Her husband has now found a low paid job and she has found a cleaning job for two days a week. They are struggling financially, but have found somewhere very small to rent; however, it has no washing machine, which is vital with two small children and all the laundry. They are trying hard to be independent and be good parents.

This young family, that has been granted asylum from Jordan, has very limited funds and we have been working with the local council and sister organisations to get safe accommodation and help to find work. They have four children who have come first with beds and bedding; however, the parents have been sleeping on the sofa, so we would like to provide them with a double bed and mattress.

R, who struggles with mental health, has started again with her children after a very hard relationship. Her Car has broken down and she would like the money to get her car repaired. The total cost is £250 and R can pay £50, but would need help with the rest. Thank you for your help.

This lady, who has been coming to our centre for a few months, found herself alone and street homeless after a family rift. We have worked with our partner organisations and secured her new living accommodation, as living on the streets is not ideal for anyone, especially at this time of year. This lady has little money to buy living essentials, and we would like to provide her with a double bed and clean mattress to assist her settling into her new accommodation.

This lady would greatly appreciate receiving this support, as she has been unable to work due to her chronic physical and mental health conditions, thus finding financial concerns very hard. This lady has experienced numerous traumas throughout her life, most recently losing her daughter to suicide. One of the main coping mechanisms this lady has is keeping her home clean, and will spend this money on a new vacuum cleaner, as she currently hasn’t got one.

Our client has recently moved and signed a tenancy agreement for social housing on the 31st October. She is unable to work, due to physical and mental health issues, and is in receipt of Universal Credit. Our client has been able to buy a small amount of furnishing and flooring with a single support grant, but would really value having a washing machine. Thank you for reading this.

Mum and her two children are currently living with her brother, due to fleeing domestic abuse. There are now six people living in the small home and they are struggling to keep on top of the laundry. Due to the limited space, a heated airer wouldn't be possible, so a voucher to go towards the cost of a tumble dryer would make life so much easier. Mum works part-time and her brother isn't able to work The family is struggling with day to day living costs so cannot afford this without some support.

J is sixty in March and about to go into hospital to have major surgery to remove two benign brain tumours. She is worried sick - it has been life changing for her, having had to give up working. To top things off, J has also recently split from her partner and next week moves into a new flat. She has now confided in us that she doesn't have a mattress for her bed. We are hoping that a kind donor will help us make her life a little more bearable.
