Total needed £200J, who has recently been released from prison, is in employment, however, he has seen his hours reduce. He is currently living weekly and choosing each week between heating and electricity, as can only afford one, not both. We have seen J's standard of living decrease greatly, along with his mental health. We are keen to get things back on stable footing and would look to support him with bedding, gas and electricity, food, cleaning and household items.

Total needed £200PH, who needs your help, is on a low income. Debt forces him to walk one and a half hours each way for food and support, a struggle for him due to limited mobility. A free driving theory course and training could change his life, but he needs a bus pass to attend. He also often chooses between food and heat. Please would you donate to give PH a hand up, not a handout, and help him build a brighter future? Any amount helps!
