Safe Families are supporting a single mum, with a young boy, who have just moved areas, due to being targeted within their previous community. Mum is unable to work, due to the demands of caring for her son, and is struggling financially. The family have limited furniture and places to store their clothes.

Our tenant is a young man who has been without a stable home for the last two years and has been sofa surfing between friends and family, but is no longer able to do so. He has a small child that he has weekend contact with, and having a home would give him a consistent place to parent him. He would be really grateful of your support to help set him up in his new home, as he has no furniture or household items.

This young person came to use via the Care Leaver Service and is staying in twenty four hour Supported Housing. She is doing very well, has settled and got her home looking great; however, is struggling with energy costs and food because of a low income. She is desperate to work, but still applying and hasn't secured anything yet. I feel this money would help with her self esteem and current low mood. Thank you!

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 has struggled with money problems for many years and this has been caused by periods of poor health and low income. He is a dad to three girls. The twelve year old is now living with him and he wants to be able to provide a stable future. His other daughters, one suffering from Autism, live with their mum. Our client suffers from Psychosis and has been referred to his local City Council Early Intervention Psychosis team. His current support is helping him deal with his priority debts.

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.

J is currently being supported by our Community Link Advisor. He has severe mental health problems and has been offered alternative accommodation in order to try and live an independent life but; unfortunately, he is in severe hardship and is in desperate need of a fridge freezer. Please can you help?

D is a qualified electrician with over twenty years experience. Due to his convictions, he's found it hard to secure work. When he came to see us at the end of May, he was about to be made homeless, as the Landlord was selling up. We helped him find new accommodation and; wonderfully, his new Landlord has also offered him a job as a Handyman, maintaining their properties. Please can you help D with the final piece in the puzzle, by funding much needed work tools to enable him to succeed? Thank you!

X, who is in her twenties and on Universal Credit, is struggling to cope, living in cramped, overcrowded accommodation with her three children, one of whom is a baby. She is finding it impossible to keep her head above water with the increasing food and energy costs, and now has an additional and unexpected expense. One of her children sat on, and broke, the spectacles she needs to wear all the time. She has no spare pair and is not eligible for an NHS optical voucher, as illness did not cause the damage. £80 would buy a replacement pair.

A was released from prison two weeks ago. He has been in and out of jail since he was eighteen and just spent his thirtieth birthday inside. Realising this isn't the life he wants to live, he is determined to turn his life around. He now has stable housing and is working with us to get himself into a paid job, but needs his Right to Work documents in order to start applying for jobs. We have requested everything else he needs, and built a CV, so this is the last piece of the jigsaw that will enable him to move on.

This Supported Person lost his best friend to suicide recently, and his friend's wife died of cancer not long before this, leaving three boys without any parents.

He is struggling with the loss and has attempted suicide himself. He is unable to work, due to poor mental health and is struggling with increases in recent bills and petrol.

S is twenty seven years of age and has found it hard to progress into long term employment, with progression opportunities, due to his single spent conviction of being drunk and disorderly. This travel ticket will assist him for the first week of a fully paid apprenticeship with a well known Asian food chain, which will see him qualify as a fully trained chef.

D was sofa surfing from the age of twelve. By the age of seventeen, he had earned enough money to have his own flat from dealing drugs . However, his life of crime meant time in prison and when he came out, he came with no ID whatsoever. He needed a Right to Work document so we felt it best to get him a Birth Certificate, for which he was grateful.

M has recently been released on probation and relocated to the area for a fresh start. Due to lack of funds, he has nothing and is unable to buy many items for his new accommodation, especially to enable him to cook. A cooker would help him so much to be independent and cook decent meals for himself.

G is in severe hardship and now has no working fridge freezer. He is desperate for a replacement, due to being a diabetic and needing to store his insulin in the fridge. G is getting support from our Support Worker.
