£0 remaining for furniture and bedding
N is a Refugee from Afghanistan who has survived extremely traumatic experiences. He now has complex mental health needs which have been exacerbated by street homelessness. With our support, he is finally in accommodation, but he has no home essentials such as furniture and bedding. Please would you give to help N construct a basic, safe home environment?
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.
