This gentleman is so happy that after 4 years his family has been allowed to join him in the UK. He is a Christian who came here as an asylum seeker, was granted leave to remain and is now, together with his family, seeking to make a new life here in the UK. They have been given temporary accommodation but his wife would love a vacuum cleaner so she can keep her home looking tidy and cared for. Any help you can give would be very much appreciated.
Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100This young lady, who has Autism, has been living in temporary accommodation for some time, but has finally been given her first tenancy and is over the moon. Unfortunately, she has absolutely nothing and is on limited income. She is determined to make a new life for herself with a fresh start. She has no family or friends to turn to for help so, along with her money advisor and ourselves, we want to help with as much support as possible. We desperately want to get her a cooker. Thank you so much!
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150Safe Families are supporting a mum who wants to make her home a cleaner and safer place for her and her daughter. Their clothes are in bags and on the floor, and they don't have the storage they need. Mum does not have the financial means to purchase storage/furniture items and has had to rely on support from others and second hand items. Mum is on Universal Credit and has not been able to work or claim Child Benefit since being here, as she has not had a work or residency permit.
Still £130 left to donate
Total needed £130A family have been placed here by the Police, for their own safety, to escape a drugs ring and modern day slavery. The landlord emptied their house prematurely, disposing of all their possessions and documents. In order to find work, mum needs to go to London for new ID documents. They can only just manage on benefits and church food parcels. A little help with obtaining a train ticket will mean they can get replacement ID documents and get access to employment and housing.
Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100Due to the breakdown of a relationship, G has had a period of homelessness. He has now signed up for a tenancy and has been able to obtain some items, but is not in a financial position to purchase a gas cooker. Help towards purchasing a cooker would keep G from accumulating any debt, which he would actually struggle to pay.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150After a period of homelessness, and living in temporary accommodation, D has now signed for a new tenancy. He has sourced some items from a local Charity Shop, but would appreciate help in purchasing a double bed and bedding. Help with this would keep him out of debt, which he would struggle to repay, and he could source other smaller items from Charity Shops.
