£0 remaining for Council Tax arrears
This gentleman was previously homeless. We managed to get him a flat and he has made it a lovely home. He was unaware that he had to reapply for Council Tax reduction and spent all last year trying to pay it out of his Universal Credit and part-time earnings. This resulted in him having extra costs added. We have now reapplied for Council Tax reduction, but this gentleman still has a debt to pay for last year's charges. If you can help, he will be very grateful and it will give him a clean slate for this year.
L is a single lady with two children who has come to the UK to work in the care industry on the shortage of workers scheme. She has no recourse to public funds, hence no support at all from anyone at the moment, and her income is not enough to sustain the family. L is currently struggling to pay for all the bills and furnish the house for them to settle in. Mum is requesting our support to purchase a fridge freezer, iron and board, a bed and mattress for her children, and a coffee table.
S is thirty one years of age and lives with his partner and four children. They recently found out they are expecting another baby which is due in early May. This is a unexpected surprise for them and they are very happy to welcome the new addition to the family. After they had the last baby, they thought the family was complete and gave away the baby items to a charity supporting new mums. S has recently lost his job and the family are surviving on benefits. Please can you help this lovely family to buy a cot and Moses basket, some bedding and baby clothes?
N is fifty four years of age and is a carer for her grown up son, who has autism. Mum is feeling very isolated, as she can barely leave the house, due to being with her son 24/7 because of his behaviour. Recently, N reached out to different charities for help and has been referred to us. During a visit, she told us that her son`s bed and bedding is badly soiled. Mum has no way of replacing the bed, as there is no money left out of the benefits, once all the bills have been paid. Please could you help?
