This young woman, who has come to us from marital abuse, has been assaulted. The centre immediately registered her up for our local domestic violence initiative, Aspirations, and gave her food and clothes. She is engaging well, given the incredibly difficult conditions she finds herself in. Our intention is to provide a three-night stay as a temporary solution while this young woman makes connections with neighbourhood agencies that could offer continued support and, ideally, a covert housing transition.

This lady, who has been sleeping at the local basement parking lot, visits the centre on a regular basis. Blankets, sleeping bags, clothing and food are requested so that she can be supported to furnish her home. St Vincent de Paul (SVP) has been interacting with outside organisations in an effort to locate this lady a long-term residence. We anticipate finishing the move into a council property next month. SVP is asking for a support package to assist with leaving the parking lot and finding a new permanent home.

This gentleman was recently released from the criminal justice system and was invited to visit the St Vincent de Paul (SVP) centre to explore what help we could provide. He is excited to assist with cleaning and set-up for both the day sessions and the night sessions. Additionally, he was successful in landing a place at a rehabilitation treatment facility. SVP is requesting three nights in a nearby bed and breakfast establishment, as a temporary stay before he moves to the rehabilitation housing, and a food package.

This gentleman, who has just become homeless, has been visiting the centre for clothes, lunch, and food packages. St Vincent de Paul (SVP) is asking for your kind donations in his search for a more permanent place to live. He hasn't slept well during his interactions with SVP and his mental wellbeing is affected. As a centre, we are asking for your kind donations to give him three night's respite in a bed and breakfast establishment and a food package. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This lady, who has two small children and lost her husband recently, was used to the support of her husband and her brother. Her brother's job has now changed, meaning that he has moved away. We are trying to help with a fridge freezer. Mum has struggled for months, and her finances and her house were a mess. With your help we have encouraged her to clean the house, insisting that things have got to improve before we can help more. The children have spotless bedrooms, and the finances are receiving a similar overhaul.

This lady has complex physical and mental health problems. Her mobility is limited and she is often in pain. She has a long history of poor sleep, resulting in exhaustion and difficulty concentrating. This lady has been unwell for many years and has struggled to manage her finances on a low income. A Debt Relief Order would release her from excessive worry and help her to get back onto solid ground.

C has suffered with his mental health since he was a child and has been in and out of secure hospitals for years. He lost his last job in 2021 and has been unable to work since, due to his mental health. C receives Personal Independence Payment disability benefit. He has no cooker and is, therefore, limited in what he can cook. C would really appreciate your support in purchasing a cooker. Many thanks!

This woman is requesting help with housing supplies so she can start over and have the requirements, after being released from prison. Requests for food, clothing and a fridge have been made. St Vincent de Paul is kindly requesting your continued assistance in helping this woman as she makes an effort to rebuild her life in a community that is supportive.
