K was homeless and sleeping in a tent, but has recently secured a one bedroom flat which is unfurnished. He is unemployed and his benefits only just cover his daily living expenses, so he is not able to afford any furniture. K has no family support or connections to help him. Your help to purchase a cooker would mean that he can cook and eat more healthily and affordably, helping him to make the best possible start in his new tenancy, and to save towards other items.

Total needed £200D, who has fled a nearby city, due to violence, is scared for his life. He has come to Scarborough to be with family and to get a fresh start. D is very unwell with lung disease and three broken ribs. His family has pooled together to give him support and get his new home sorted out. D only has a bed that he really needs now, as he is currently sleeping on a sofa which isn't helping his lungs or ribs! Please could we help him get a bed so that he can finally feel that his new start has begun? Thank you!

Total needed £120C has no photo ID. Due to suffering from addiction, he has voluntarily surrendered his driving licence, which means that photo ID in the form of a licence is not a option. He is close to being tenancy ready and has made huge progress with Hope Housing. C came to us following a very hard bereavement and trauma after the Bradford City fire. Assisting him in gaining his independence back, through having ID, would greatly help C in moving forward with his life.

Total needed £90J, who came to us after living in a hostel for over nine months, has been homeless, on and off, his whole adult life. This client urgently needs some new footwear, as his trainers are literally falling apart and he owns very little clothes. J is on a very low income and he is ready for a fresh start, which involves making a routine. I would like him, if possible, to have a gym membership for his mental wellbeing and some new trainers and gym pants. Many thanks in advance.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150G has recently moved into his own flat after a long period of homelessness. He worked really hard to address the problems that led to homelessness and now has the skills and knowledge to manage his own tenancy. G has overcome many physical and emotional difficulties and is now moving into a new phase in his life. He is very proud of his new flat and is keen to keep it clean and tidy, which also helps with his mental health. A hoover would help him and get him off to a good start.
