£0 remaining for blinds for new home
R was homeless and came to our winter shelter in March'23. Over the following months we supported him to ensure he was considered by the council for a tenancy. We were delighted that R got offered a flat last month. The flat is on ground level and without blinds or curtains, therefore lacks any privacy. He is feeling vulnerable and very nervous about moving into a flat like this and asked for help to buy blinds for the front windows. R is still receiving support from us and is on benefits.
My client is a survivor of Human Trafficking and owns very few personal belongings. He was finally placed into permanent accommodation three months ago, but has been unable to secure a vacuum cleaner. He has been living in his carpeted home for three months without sufficient means to clean it. Having a vacuum cleaner would allow my client to maintain a tidy and clean space, which is crucial in his recovery, to promote good physical and mental health. He would be so grateful for your help.
X and her girls have been victims of human trafficking, but are now safe and have a two bedroomed flat. We have been supporting them through our church foodbank during their time in hostel accommodation and at the clothes bank to support them in the cold weather. They are now in receipt of benefits, but need lots of things for their home that are too expensive for them currently. The are getting some help, but the flat is very empty and the teenage girls would love a television if possible.
