Our client is a single guy who was in temporary accommodation. He has been successful in applying for a flat and is looking forward to moving in, but is in need of a cooker which will allow him to be able to cook meals. He is on benefits, receiving Universal Credit, and is being supported by his local Foodbank. Any help you can give towards a cooker would be very gratefully received.

C has a son with Special Educational Needs who will will be moving to a Special Education School in September, which is seventeen miles away from their home. They have been offered a flat near to the school, which they have accepted, but they have no flooring. C is working with Christians Against Poverty to clear previous debts, as she does not want to get into debt again. She has asked for help towards the cost of the flooring, which will help make the new flat as comfortable as possible for them both.

L, who volunteers for a local Charity, has been involved in a car accident which has damaged her spine and left her unable to walk well. Due to her health deteriorating, she is having to move. L does not have any savings and does not own her property. We would be so grateful if the funds could be donated so that she is able to pay for moving her belongings. Hopefully, the move will mean that L is able to get the help she needs. She would like to thank you, in advance, for donating.

L lives alone in a social housing flat and is a recovering alcoholic with his only income being Employment and Support Allowance. He does not have a working vacuum cleaner; therefore, his property does not meet the required cleanliness standards and he is due an inspection from the Housing Association. Due to his limited income, debts, and and an increase in bills, he is unable to afford to buy a vacuum cleaner. L has become increasingly anxious about this situation and fears he will be evicted. Please can you help?

Our client recently moved into a flat, having been sofa surfing for eighteen months due to relationship and mental health breakdown. He struggles with issues of cleanliness and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and moving to a new flat has impacted this. A new carpet for the flat will help him to relax and feel comfortable with his living situation. He does not have any money available from his Universal Credit to pay for this. Please could you help?

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. She is on the housing list, hopeful of a property in due course and is working with various agencies in an attempt to progress this.

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.

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!

Our client is currently living in temporary accommodation with partner and children aged three years old and eighteen months. A conflict with neighbours threatening to burn their family home has; unfortunately, put them in this situation. Terrified, they have had to flee, and have left their possessions behind. As a charity, we have helped with a food parcel, but would further like to help with enabling them to get some gas and electric on at the property.

This gentleman was homeless for twelve years until he was provided with a flat. He has had help with white goods, painting etc. and has had the flat for two years, but has had no carpets. His flat doesn't look very different to how it was when he first moved in, due to lack of funds. He has been very low in mood and having carpets will make it feel more homely and will lift his spirits. The flat is cold in the winter months and carpets will make a huge difference in keeping his heating bills down.

This lady and her grandson have been living in temporary accommodation for the last 8 months following the loss of their private rented tenancy when their landlord moved into residential care due to ill health. Their previous tenancy was fully furnished and hence they will need to completely furnish their new tenancy. They have limited means and will struggle to buy everything at once. This lady is a pensioner and her grandson is on disability benefits

S and her two young children live in a house with no carpets, which means that it doesn't feel very homely. Having no carpets often prevents them inviting people over and leaves them isolated. One of the children has additional needs and it is really a challenging time for them. They don't have spare funds to cover the cost of getting carpets, as they are reliant on benefits as, due to mental health issues, S isn't able to work. It would make a massive difference to them to have carpets.

The lady has approached the church asking for help to clear her garden of rubbish so that her young daughter can enjoy the garden in safety.

A single mum in Nottingham recently got granted the care of her daughter after showing Social Care that she deserved a second chance. She has worked really hard to get suitable accommodation and has now been offered a house that she can move into shortly. She doesn’t have anyone who can help her with the cost of a van to move her belongings. Please could you help her with this, to help give her daughter a positive and stable home to live in?

T lives in Bedford, and his circumstances, particularly his relationship breakdown, have meant that he has needed to move several times in quick succession. He now rents one room in shared accommodation and has some work as a Labourer, but his income is very low. All this has resulted in debts he is unable to pay. Being able to apply for a Debt Relief Order would allow him a fresh start, free from the repercussions of his debt, and the worry this is causing.

C has been homeless for four years and has just been housed. She is on benefits, but is unable to afford to buy an oven. Any help towards C being able to get one would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
