Total needed £170This gentleman, who is in a very desperate situation, is being pursued by debt collection agencies for a chronic debt. He has agreed to commence payment, but the impact of this is that he is now experiencing food insecurity and is desperate for help. £200 would allow us to pay off part of his debt as part of his payment plan. This will allow him to reduce his payments so that he can manage his daily outgoings. He is going to start working with our Christians Against Poverty advisor for further help and support.
