£0 remaining for bunk beds
D is a single mother with two sons aged eleven and nine years old. Mum works full time in Admin and as a Spanish translator. She has also applied for Universal Credit. They recently moved from temporary accommodation to permanent Social Housing, where there was no furniture or white goods. We have obtained some items for the family, but they still need bunk beds for the boys who have been sleeping on the floor since the end of June. These items would complete their family home.
S is a young person seeking asylum in the UK. We are supporting them with their immigration case and other positive activities e.g. youth activities and English classes. They have applied for asylum support funding for destitution relief, but this is expected to take at least one month to be processed. They urgently need financial support to cover travel costs in London to visit their solicitor and caseworker (£10 each time), as well as money for food for the month.
S is an asylum seeker. She is receiving very little financial support, and it hardly covers her food and travel. Her phone has recently broken and she does not have the means to replace it. She is trying to get legal representation for her asylum claim and apply for college. Without this, she is unable to engage with any of the above, or stay in touch with family, and this will have a real impact on her mental health and wellbeing. Having a phone keeps her connected to her community and professionals.
P was just about managing in Housing Association accommodation when Covid hit. With only his pension and pension credit, he got into rent arrears and was eventually evicted. Having been in temporary accommodation since then has been difficult, but he has now secured permanent accommodation. However, it is completely unfurnished and P must start again. A fridge freezer would enable him to eat more healthily and manage his limited funds more effectively so that he can get back on his feet.
