£0 remaining for a bedroom carpet
S and her two young children live in a house with no carpets, which means that it doesn't feel very homely. Having no carpets often prevents them inviting people over and leaves them isolated. One of the children has additional needs and it is really a challenging time for them. They don't have spare funds to cover the cost of getting carpets, as they are reliant on benefits as, due to mental health issues, S isn't able to work. It would make a massive difference to them to have carpets.
P, who moved into our accommodation after a long stay in prison, has now been out of prison for three years, has become a Christian, is working part-time and has moved into his own accommodation. He has been working hard to get the items he needs to furnish his new home, but is in need of flooring. P would very much appreciate some money towards carpeting his living room, especially as he is now in contact with his daughters and would like them to visit his new home.
ZR, who is from Afghanistan, has a husband and three children who have been settled in their house in Colchester for one year.

This girl visited our centre with her family. They are currently homeless, as they are fleeing danger and violence in their country. While the council provided housing for the parents and younger siblings, the two older girls were deemed non-vulnerable and received no assistance. We cannot bear to see these girls end up on the streets, especially considering their limited English and the trauma endured. We urgently need your assistance to house this girl in a bed and breakfast for four nights.
