H has complex health needs and is registered disabled. He has recently been supported into a property of his own. His only income is from benefits and he used what little he had saved on the house move. The property is owned by a local housing association who do not provide carpets in their properties. We can supply H with all the flooring he needs, if we can just get a little help with the fitting costs. Thank you for reading this request.

Total needed £200A has just been offered a council flat and having been homeless has no furniture or white goods. Due to budget constraints the local council can only provide very limited support. A is on Universal Credit so is very limited as to what he can afford himself. He is determined to build a new life for himself in his new home. A washing machine would be a very helpful addition to his home as there is no nearby laundrette. Please help if you can. Thank you.

Total needed £200The client was seen at the food bank and was telling an individual there that she had had a fire at her home. In the process the family lost a lot of their possessions and have now been moved into new unfurnished accommodation. The parents are on a low income and also have two children to take care of. It would really be appreciated if we could help them with installation of a cooker and kitchen items so that they can begin to re-establish themselves. Thank you so much for reading this.

Total needed £150K is 16 and has just gained a place at College to study hairdressing. Her mum works, but earns a minimum wage, and struggles to make ends meet. They often have to rely on Foodbank for food at the end of the month. In order to get a discounted travel ticket you need to buy 3 months at a time - £230, this enables a substantial saving. However, they do not have the savings to do this. By helping them with the first term, this would enable them to save for the rest of the year's transport.

Total needed £200C has just had to move from an unsuitable property, and is struggling financially. She is being supported by a local charity, but she's finding it difficult to keep in touch with her support workers as she doesn't have a phone. C is very isolated and as well as keeping in touch with her support workers, a phone would reduce her isolation and enable her to contact friends and family.

Total needed £200N and his wife are living in temporary, unfurnished accommodation with their two young children, aged 1 and 3. The family urgently requires bedding, including mattress protectors, pillows, quilts, sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases, to ensure the children have warm, comfortable places to sleep. They would also greatly benefit from warm winter clothing for both children, as the family has very limited resources. This support would help provide comfort, security and dignity during a difficult period.

Total needed £250E has recently moved from temporary furnished accommodation into a permanent social housing property with her two young children, aged 8 and 4. As she had to leave most furnishings behind, she has very few household essentials. A fridge freezer would enable her to safely store food, reduce costly daily shopping trips, and provide greater stability for the family as they settle into their new home. Your support would make a significant difference.
