R, who has fled domestic violence and is under police protection, is in need of warm clothing as her ex-partner destroyed them so she could not go out. R is small so will share the older children’s clothes. All five children are in need and R, who has no relatives or friends to help, has no benefits until her visa is processed. Some charities have helped with food and a few clothes, but the children have no boots for wet, cold weather and are sharing shoes and clothes.
