This family was referred to us by our sister organisation and is struggling financially after moving into a new property. They currently have no furniture and we are urgently seeking your assistance to help furnish their home with a dining table, four chairs, and a large sofa. At present, the family is sitting and eating on the floor, and the situation is impacting the socialisation of their children. Your support would make a significant difference in improving their quality of life.

They are living in a one bedroom property with no furniture, and the entire family is sleeping on the floor. We are urgently seeking your assistance to provide two single beds and mattresses for their children, which will greatly improve their living conditions and provide some much needed comfort. Any support would be greatly appreciated.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This woman has been a long-time user of our services, due to debilitating long-term health problems, both physical and mental. She recently moved into a new flat which, unfortunately, has no furniture or white goods, apart from a fridge. This lack of basic necessities is severely affecting her mental health, and she is particularly distressed by her inability to clean her clothes. We are urgently seeking your help to provide her with a washing machine, which would greatly improve her situation .
