Give to someone in need

Can you help a specific person in need?
Read stories of the applicants below and give as you feel able. Any amount will make a big difference to someone who is struggling.

J has thankfully been housed in a Housing Association property, but has no curtains/poles or flooring. He has been suffering with poor physical and mental health, and has been unable to work for sometime. J is struggling on his benefit only income and cannot afford to make his house a home. Living without curtains and flooring is not helping his health. Could you please consider helping this gentleman to make his home feel more private and safe with some funds towards curtains and poles? Thank you.

Total needed £110This dad, who is struggling with energy bills and food, visited our social supermarket for help. He shared that his gas has run out, due to arrears, leaving him boiling a kettle for washing up and bathing his children (aged four, eleven and twelve. Dad feels that he has let his family down, but we know he's doing his best. We gave snuggle blankets to keep them warm, but can we come together to pay for gas and food, to add some sparkle and festive cheer to their lives this Christmas? Every little bit helps. Thank you.
