P is a single dad of four children who is receiving benefits and unable to work, as cares for his youngest child who has ongoing health issues. P's phone is very basic and the sound quality is poor. It would be extremely helpful for him to have a smart phone on which he can manage his Universal Credit application and access support via apps, and the internet.

She has been struggling financially since her daughter was born and debts have started to build up. Although they have now moved into a flat, they have very little furniture and would appreciate help to provide some drawers and a wardrobe to store their clothes and possessions in. Please would you help them as they seek to settle in their new home?
