W is a single person who is living in rented accommodation and currently claiming Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments. He was in a car accident which caused serious damage to his back, preventing him from working. W's fridge freezer has recently broken, preventing him from storing food, and he now has to go shopping more often, causing severe pain. W would usually limit going out because of this and buy food in bulk to freeze, making his life much easier. A fridge freezer would really help him out.

R, who has fled domestic violence and is under police protection, is in need of warm clothing as her ex-partner destroyed them so she could not go out. R is small so will share the older children’s clothes. All five children are in need and R, who has no relatives or friends to help, has no benefits until her visa is processed. Some charities have helped with food and a few clothes, but the children have no boots for wet, cold weather and are sharing shoes and clothes.

She is engaging really well with programmes, and is trying to make her house a home.

Our contact is a single mum to three children. One of the children has an Education Health Care Plan, a diagnosis of autism and additional presenting needs. The young person has a specific diet which is hard to manage at present, due to the family not having a fridge freezer. They are having to live day-by-day as they cannot keep fresh or dairy products at present. This is impacting on an already stressed mother and a difficult educational situation. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This gentleman is responding really well to his support plan and is making great progress. He is a Christian man who loves Jesus, and has recently moved into our 'move on' property. This has moved him a bit away from college, so he would really benefit from a bike to get him there and back. This gentleman has a laptop for his studies, however, it is not in full working order so he needs it repairing.

A member of our food pantry disclosed that he does not have a working cooker. He is unable to purchase a new oven, as he is unable to work after being discharged from the army with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our client has no savings or extra funds, once the bills are paid.

A, the dad to a family of seven, is on a low income and has debts he is trying to pay off. His washing machine has broken and he has no means of having it replaced. Dad is struggling to get the school uniforms and clothes clean, and to stop the children from being picked on because their clothes are dirty. Friends are helping, but cannot keep it up, especially now bills have increased.

G is a young mum with two small children who fled domestic violence. She has managed to accumulate furniture from other charities, but has no fridge freezer to stop food spoiling, which is causing added stress and worry.

R is an asylum seeker who has just started courses at our local college. To access all the information, do his home work and study extra at home, he really would benefit from having his own tablet instead of simply relying on an old phone. Thank you so much for helping R to make the most of his studies.

M, who is a refugee from Iran, is trying everything to find a job but, with only a phone as device, he often struggles to fill out the application forms for jobs which often don’t work on a phone. It is also very difficult to search for vacancies and read up on all the information available. M really would benefit from a laptop to help him to move on in his life and access further online courses where needed. Thank you so much for helping him.

A single mum of two, who is battling stage four cancer of the spine, is struggling financially with debt. Her youngest son shares a bed with her and this is causing mum some additional discomfort, as her son can kick during his sleep. We would like to provide the family with a new bed and mattress for her son, so that mum can get a good night's sleep. The freezer has broken and mum is unable to store any food, so we would also like to provide the family with a small freezer. Thank you.
