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. Providing the family with these drawers would allow them to help make their house a home. Mum is unable to afford to provide these herself due to not working.

Safe Families are supporting a single mum who is working part time to try and provide the best she can for her little girl. She is struggling on the amount she is earning and is finding that this is not covering her bills and living costs. Mum and her little girl have recently moved into their first home and have limited furniture. Providing these drawers for the little girl's room will help to make their new house more homely and provide storage for the little girl's 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 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.

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!

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.

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.

This gentleman has recently struggled with his mental health, which has resulted in him not having the funds to travel to his employment. He is now in a better place and we feel his employment is the vital thing in his life that is providing him his with stability. We are asking for a one month bus ticket that will be paid directly to the company concerned. This act of kindness will; hopefully, provide him with the opportunity to maintain his employment, which can be so difficult following his struggles.
