This young person found himself in County Durham after leaving his area and becoming homeless. Having care leaver status, but no support, we found him a property, however, he has no furniture. This young person is settling, but needs a hoover, a couch, tv unit and coffee table for the lounge and a kettle and toaster for the kitchen to enable him to start his new life in a new home and be able to live comfortably. We have managed to get him some items and a bed, but he has very little. Once settled, this young person is hoping to start college and rebuild his life. These items would make a big difference to his life. Thank you.
