£0 remaining for a water bill, a mobile phone, a microwave and clothing
This gentleman recently moved into temporary accommodation and is being helped to look for a permanent home. He is waiting for benefits to catch up, so is struggling to make ends meet. His old mobile phone is not capable of being used to communicate with the benefits service, and he has a water bill he can't meet. This gentleman's clothes are all too large for him, as he lost a great deal of weight when homeless. Please can you help him?

P has been in mental health hospital for a long period of time. Whilst there, his home was burgled and most of his possessions stolen. P is now home with support from the mental health and safeguarding teams as he is a vulnerable adult.

Provision of a fridge freezer would greatly help his health and well being.
