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.

We are asking for support for a family in our community. Mum is the sole carer for her child who has autism and speech and communication difficulties. As he requires full-time care Mum has had to give up work placing significant financial pressure on the family. His bedroom carpet is now extremely worn and poses a safety concern. We hope, through generous donations, to provide a replacement carpet making their home safer warmer and more comfortable. Any support would make a meaningful difference

This single mum and two daughters live in a very overcrowded house. Mum would like two chests of drawers to help sort out the girls clothes and de-clutter their bedrooms to create space for them to play. They have very little money and therefore can't afford to purchase this themselves.

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.

Are you able to help?

Being able to buy them would be a huge boost to the family as the weather gets colder and energy bills go up.

Foodbank client A is a refugee with no access to public funds and is experiencing significant financial hardship. She currently has no fridge, making it difficult to safely store fresh food and leftovers and increasing the risk of food waste. With her extremely limited income and lack of access to public support, she is unable to purchase one herself. Funding towards a fridge would provide A with greater food security, dignity and independence.

S receives Personal Independence Payment due to physical and mental health conditions and needs overnight care. Following her father's death and the challenges arising from her conditions, she experienced significant grief and accrued debt, which she is actively repaying.

Y has had no income for 9 weeks because he didn't understand the admin that he had to complete for Universal Credit. He'd like money to pay for his daily needs. Y received a supermarket voucher from a local charity, which helped him up til now. He isn't familiar with the food at foodbanks because he's from outside Europe and would like to be able to buy food that he knows how to cook. Y'd like toiletries, phone credit and clothes to keep in touch with his support network and be hygienic and appropriately dressed.

M is struggling financially. He has no washing machine, which means he finds it very difficult to keep his clothes and bedding clean. He is embarrassed to go out in public or attend vital appointments because he does not have clean clothes to wear. Your help to buy a washing machine would mean he could keep his clothes clean, and give him back the confidence to leave the house and do things in public.

Mum has recently welcomed her new baby and is working hard to care for her three children while managing significant physical and mental health challenges.

C is a single mother caring for her triplets and has recently been provided with a property by the local council. Although securing a home is a very positive step for the family, the property has been provided largely empty. One of the most urgent items the family needs is a cooker. Without suitable cooking facilities, C is unable to prepare proper hot meals for her children at home, adding both difficulty and expense at a time when her finances are already extremely stretched. Thank you

J fled domestic abuse, and after a stay in temporary hostel accommodation, she has secured a new social housing property of her own. J has a very low income, surviving on Universal Credit at the moment, and due to moving and having to pay rent in advance, she has even less money than usual. Her new property has no washing machine, and there's no way she can afford to buy one. She is also struggling to afford a launderette at the moment, so keeping her clothes and bedding clean is very difficult.
