£0 remaining for gas and electric top-up
R has worked all his life but, after making a one-off mistake, found himself with a conviction and lost his job. At the same time, his partner was made redundant and they have both been out of work for some time. After trying to get help from Citizens Advice and the Job Centre, he has come to us for help into work, but is struggling to pay his utility bills. This contribution towards his gas and electric would help R ease the stress of his payments, and help him short-term while we support him.
W, who is a dad to two young children, has worked all of his life in various jobs, sometimes holding down two jobs. He found himself out of work, due to Covid-19, and turned to illegal activity to prevent him from getting into debt. W finished his sentence earlier this year and moved to a new area to start afresh, but lost his right to work documents. He is eager to get back into work and put this difficult period behind him, but has no money to pay for the ID. Please can you help W?
T had her own place and spent all her money on doing it up a few years ago. Sadly, after being a key witness, she has had to move for her own safety. T has had to start all over again and, although she has saved, she needs help to put flooring in the lounge. She is doing really well, has built a better life for herself and is really helping many others. Please will you help T to make this fresh start?
Safe Families are supporting an Iranian refugee who arrived in the UK in the summer 2023, with his twelve year old son. They have recently been rehoused and do not have a vacuum cleaner, microwave or all of the kitchen equipment that they need, such as cutlery and crockery. The family is on a low income and does not have the finances to equip the home. We would love to provide them with a voucher so dad can prioritise his and his son’s requirements, and purchase some items for their new home.
