£105 needed for a tablet
This family of five refugees from Syria is settled locally, but is in need of a tablet to help the children with school work and the parents with their English practice. The school is unable to provide any technical support, and family finances do not run to this purchase. A tablet will help to boost the parents' confidence in speaking English and better enable them to support the children with their school work.
£200 needed for a cooker
This family, who have a two year old, have been through a huge amount. Mum had to be relocated in an emergency, due to being targeted in the community by violent behaviour, and is in a house which is incredibly sparse. Mum has been working hard with social care to rebuild their lives, is now in a stronger position emotionally, but would really appreciate some help financially with getting a new cooker, as hers has now broken.
£200 needed for an air fryer and a kitchen table
H was married but her relationship became troubled due to her problem with alcohol. She became street homeless ten years ago and was taken to rehab by street link. She moved into a permanent but completely unfurnished place last month and she requires help with cooking facilities, as there is no cooker. She has chosen an air fryer as most suitable for her needs, and also needs help to buy a kitchen table. She has overcome her addiction, attends AA meetings and works part time as a cook with Kairos who supported her. Thank you for your help.
£150 needed for a sofa

£200 needed for a washing machine
M, who is single and living in social housing, has a job, but her hours vary, meaning that she finds it difficult to manage financially and has some debts which we are helping her with. M, who receives some Universal Credit, has health problems and is applying for disability benefits. Her washing machine has broken and she's having to spend a lot at the launderette. It would really help M to have her own washing machine.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
L is unable to work due to his multiple health issues and, until recently, was living in unsuitable private rented accommodation. He has recently moved into social housing, but his property was provided with no carpets, curtains, or white goods. Living off benefits means he has no spare income. As L seeks to start his new life, he would be so grateful for help to buy the basics for his new home. With your support, he would love to be able to buy a fridge freezer.
