Our client has a fridge which is broken. They have suffered from depression since their teenage years, to a level that they have previously been advised by the Job Centre to be signed off ill by their General Practitioner as not able to work. Consequently, the depression has adversely affected their ability to obtain and retain paid employment. Their depression is debilitating to the point that they become introverted, they do not leave or clean their home. A fridge would help them be able to store food and not shop daily or rely on more expensive take away.

This young couple are setting up a home together with the help of their Social Worker. They are expecting their first child in a couple of months. They are both on Universal Credit and are saving hard to buy items for their home and the baby but there is not a lot left over after the bills are paid. They have benefited from generous friends but are still in need of a fridge freezer. We have sourced a nearly new one with a 6 month guarantee. Please can you help them purchase it? Thank you.

After a challenging journey to refugee status and overcoming homelessness, J is now safely housed and determined to rebuild his career. Having worked as a mechanic, he is eager to return to a professional career but first needs to improve his English and gain local certifications. A desk, chair and laptop are the essentials tools he lacks to study effectively from home. Your donations would provide this bridge to his financial independence and long term stability.

After the hardship of homelessness and the uncertainty of seeking asylum, A has secured a flat. However, he lacks the essentials to live healthily. A table top fridge will allow him to store fresh food safely, while an air fryer will enable him to cook effectively and bedding including supportive pillows will ensure a proper nights sleep. These are the final items to help A create a home where he can rebuild his life and look to gain employment in order to live independently.

N is an older man who has recently arrived in the UK as he needed to find safety to escape from the violent upheavals in Sudan. A priority for him at present is to improve his English, which is frankly not very good, and to improve his job prospects for when he is allowed to work. A laptop would be an immense help to him for his studies. Might somebody be able to help with this?

She left her family home with nothing and has recently just been offered a property to live in with her children however she has been struggling to make ends meet.

This family of two adults and six children are refugees. Sadly, the furnished private property where they were originally accommodated had to be sold and they were placed in furnished emergency accommodation.

The family are struggling to afford essentials. Can you help with a fresh start by giving towards a sofa?

J has had cancer treatment and a liver transplant, and his income is Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). J has been supported with benefits, grants and mental health support. J received funding for a 1 year National Trust membership, which has now expired. J said that being able to access the parks has had a massively positive impact on his mental health, giving him hope and a change of scenery after long hospital stays and intensive treatment. If J was able to continue visiting the park, this would be a massive boost to his wellbeing. Can you help?
