This young woman is currently homeless and her young child is in care. She is living in a tent locally (which was previously funded by Acts435) and is now in need of updating her sleeping bag, blow-up bed and cooking facilities.

C is a young man living in Supported Accommodation, due to mental health struggles. He is trying to get his life back on track, but has some debts which he cannot afford to repay. A Debt Relief Order would give him the fresh start he needs. Please can you help? Thank you!

S is heavily indebted, principally due to Council Tax arrears. A Bailiff has recently been to his property and threatened to seize the few possessions he has. This has caused worry, anxiety, fear and other emotions. S is twelve months away from retirement and is not working. A Debt Relief Order will give him a fresh start whilst he counts down the days to retirement. Thank you!

Ten years ago, W developed severe mental health problems, lost his business and became homeless. Several years later, he was supported by family into a new home, went back into work and started to have support for his mental health. Unfortunately, over the years he developed a large debt and, due to the pandemic, lost his job. A donation of £150 will enable him to apply for bankruptcy, which will give him a fresh start financially and should reduce the enormous pressure his debts are putting on his mental health. Thank you!

F is a single mum with young children. She and her family are on low income and have just been moved to a new, unfurnished property.

J has four children, two of whom are living with him currently, and he is in a battle to gain custody of the other two, due to the abuse they are suffering from their mother. He is doing amazingly! He was in a really high paid IT job, but had to give everything up to look after his children. We have helped him to go Bankrupt and now he is trying to make his two bedroom house nice for his four children. J is going to sleep in the lounge and really wants carpets for the children's bedrooms. Please could we help him to carpet one room?

Safe Families are supporting a single mum, with a young boy, who have just moved areas, due to being targeted within their previous community. Mum is unable to work, due to the demands of caring for her son, and is struggling financially. The family have limited furniture and places to store their clothes. Providing the family with these drawers would allow them to help make their house a home. Mum is unable to afford to provide these herself due to not working.

This lady, who is fleeing domestic violence, is setting up a new home and is essentially starting from nothing. The Foodbank and Storehouse have been able to supply some basic furniture pots and pans, but are unable to provide the gas cooker in its entirety. The Women's institute have also contributed. Please can you help?

Safe Families are supporting a single mum who is working part time to try and provide the best she can for her little girl. She is struggling on the amount she is earning and is finding that this is not covering her bills and living costs. Mum and her little girl have recently moved into their first home and have limited furniture. Providing these drawers for the little girl's room will help to make their new house more homely and provide storage for the little girl's clothes.

I have just had a very nice chat with B, who has recently been moved into permanent accommodation which is unfurnished. She is in receipt of Universal Credit and has a low income after paying her rent. She is paying back some deductions and is unable to afford to buy a divan bed frame. B is currently sleeping on the floor and a bed will be the first item in her new place, and the beginning of the settling in process.

This family lost their property and all of their possessions in a fire due to the recent unprecedented heatwave. This is a single parent with 3 children. Their property is to be demolished this week. They are being re-housed and receiving support from their local council as they try to come to terms with their things being destroyed. Many household items are needed as well as bedding for the three children and Mum. Any funds would be appreciated.

K, a wheelchair user, who has a diagnosis of Autism and chronic pain, is moving into her own place which is unfurnished. A priority for K is an Orthopaedic mattress, as poor sleep exacerbates her chronic pain and concentrating and communicating with others also becomes harder. An appropriate mattress would give K the best chance of a good night’s sleep and, in turn, enable her to focus on starting a craft course and making new friends. K is on the waiting list for a Personal Independence Payment assessment and only receives Universal Credit so is struggling financially.

J has had a tough time over the last few years, but has managed to escape an abusive marriage and, with help, is rebuilding her life. Having left the marriage, she took out loans to survive, which, with interest, have grown substantially. We are hoping to get a Debt Relief Order to help her to move on, shed the burden of debt and the anxiety it causes. Please can you help?

Our tenant is a young man who has been without a stable home for the last two years and has been sofa surfing between friends and family, but is no longer able to do so. He has a small child that he has weekend contact with, and having a home would give him a consistent place to parent him. He would be really grateful of your support to help set him up in his new home, as he has no furniture or household items.

This young person came to use via the Care Leaver Service and is staying in twenty four hour Supported Housing. She is doing very well, has settled and got her home looking great; however, is struggling with energy costs and food because of a low income. She is desperate to work, but still applying and hasn't secured anything yet. I feel this money would help with her self esteem and current low mood. Thank you!

This young couple had been sofa surfing for around two years before they contacted Housing Solutions. Their living situation had contributed to mental health issues and they were struggling to survive. I met with them to show them a property, which they accepted. They have been given lots of items from the community, family, friends and charity, but are struggling to buy curtains and blinds to give them privacy and security. They have also got behind with their gas and electric bills. Please can you help them? Thank you!
