£0 remaining for vacuum cleaner
L lives alone in a social housing flat and is a recovering alcoholic with his only income being Employment and Support Allowance. He does not have a working vacuum cleaner; therefore, his property does not meet the required cleanliness standards and he is due an inspection from the Housing Association. Due to his limited income, debts, and and an increase in bills, he is unable to afford to buy a vacuum cleaner. L has become increasingly anxious about this situation and fears he will be evicted. Please can you help?
This gentleman recently moved into temporary accommodation and is being helped to look for a permanent home. He is waiting for benefits to catch up, so is struggling to make ends meet. His old mobile phone is not capable of being used to communicate with the benefits service, and he has a water bill he can't meet. This gentleman's clothes are all too large for him, as he lost a great deal of weight when homeless. Please can you help him?

A is a single parent who is in poor health, is dependent on benefits and has no savings or family support. He is the sole carer of his children, due to him ending the relationship with mother of the children when he suffered much abuse at her hands, severely affecting his mental health. A manages well on his limited budget, but is in desperate need of a new double bed, mattress and bedding so that he can sleep well and not aggravate his health issues. However, he is not able to afford an appropriate one. Any help is much appreciated.
