This man, who is a resident with us in supported accommodation, is working with the Family Drug and Alcohol Court, with the hope of becoming sole carer for his children. As this does not allow him to commit to work at present, he finds that exercise helps with his mental health. This man would appreciate some help with gym membership costs of £100 over the next four months. He is also in need of some photo ID, so would appreciate help with the cost of applying for a passport online, which would be £88.50. Thank you.
