S has faced multiple challenges over the last year. Unfortunately there was a fire in her home, she was uninsured, and she now needs to clear various items that have been damaged. She also needs to clear the garden, which has become overgrown in the last few months. She would like to contribute the cost of the skip, but is on basic benefits, and there is no way that she can afford the whole amount. This will help her to get some order back into her life.

Mum is a single parent to three children and has recently moved into a new home. The family are in need of a chest of drawers to provide suitable storage for their clothes and help them settle into their new home. Mum is currently unemployed and managing on a limited income.

This young lady has been living in a Children's residential home but was ready to live on her own at aged 16 -due to having great independence skills. This young person has already made the interior of her home beautiful and would like some funds to do up her garden yard. This would give her a nice space to sit and relax during the summer when she is not at college studying. This young person does struggle with emotional wellbeing so being outside would be very beneficial .

A is a young woman who fled serious domestic violence and has spent time in women’s refuges and homeless accommodation. She has now finally secured a home of her own but is moving in with almost nothing. The violence she experienced has left her with ongoing physical health problems and she has very little support around her. Donations towards a double bed would give A a safe, comfortable place to sleep and help her begin to recover and rebuild her life in her own home.

This very vulnerable lady has been left in a terrible financial state after her husband and carer left her and took all their money with him. She is trying to get back on her feet but is in desperate need of kitchen supplies, including a kettle, toaster, pots and pans, a microwave and cutlery. These items would help her significantly as she tries to start her life again after such a trauma.

This single mum and her two-year-old son have had to flee their family home due to domestic violence. A restraining order is now in place to protect her and her child, and she is having to rebuild their lives from scratch in a new home.

She is requesting £200 towards a fridge freezer, which would provide much-needed stability and help her create a safe, settled home for her son.

A has secured her own home following serious domestic violence, homelessness and time spent in women’s hostels. She is moving into the property with very little, while also managing physical health problems resulting from the violence she experienced. Her local church has helped source some essentials, but the property still needs flooring. £200 towards carpet fitting would make her home warmer, more comfortable and somewhere she can truly begin to feel settled.

J has had to move house after the loss of her partner: the old property was simply too big for her. She is currently working but on a low income and has little spare money. The property she has moved into has no flooring down in any of the rooms and J simply can't afford to carpet it. We have an offer of free carpets, which is amazing but we just need a little help with the fitting costs. Hoping a kind and generous Acts donor will help us.

Having his own front door represents a major step forward and an opportunity to build a settled and independent life.

J suffered a massive stroke 2 years ago, putting him in a coma for months, and leaving him visually impaired, wheelchair-dependent and needing daily carers. Whilst in the coma his landlord assumed he had died and disposed of all his possessions. He has now secured his own flat, but it is unfurnished and doesn't even have carpet. J has a low income, and what little leftover money he has is going towards his rent in advance and basic furniture. Your help would carpet his living room and bedroom.
