This family had to flee a private, fully furnished, rented house, due to their daughter witnessing a stabbing; the court case is still pending. Mum is in need of wardrobes for herself and her daughter and two sets of drawers. At present, everything is still in bin bags, which is causing a lot of added stress, as this is a very tidy family on a very low income. Mum is depressed and her daughter is struggling with mental health, due to the trauma.

Total needed £200This 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.

Total needed £190T, who has recently received full custody of his children, is a single dad of five on a very low income. His washing machine has broken and he just cannot afford to get a replacement. Friends have been helping, but now with the school holidays, they cannot, and family live too far away. T will not go into debt as he’s already struggling and does not wish to add anymore stress to his life. He has tried washing by hand, but only managed to make things worse.

Total needed £200CF is currently in temporary accommodation with her partner. They have a history of homelessness and substance misuse, however, they have recently found faith and are making changes in their life. CF has been in the process of applying for ID, as she wants to find some permanent accommodation. She has a birth certificate, but would now like to use this to apply for a passport. CF receives the lowest level of Universal Credit, so she does not have funds for this. This ID will help her to move forward.

Total needed £90Mum is a single parent to her two children. The family recently had to move to a new area, following a relationship breakdown. The family are struggling financially and mum is struggling to sort out the house, so it feels like a home for the family. This lady doesn't have anywhere to store her or her children's clothes, and they are currently in bags on the floor. We would love to help the family with a wardrobe to help mum declutter the home. This would help build her confidence and happiness.

Total needed £140DL is a single parent of three children who had to leave her home due to domestic abuse. The house she has moved into has no flooring, only concrete and wooden floors. Mum's youngest child is only twelve months old and is crawling. He has a problematic skin condition which means the dust etc. from the flooring is affecting his skin more. DL's local council have given her some money towards the flooring, but she has to find the rest herself. She has a small amount of savings, but most has gone on the move
