This young person is a child, aged seventeen years old, who has been age disputed and taken out of Social Services care as they believe he is over eighteen. While we support him to challenge this, he has no source of income and will be struggling financially. This young person will need support to be able to afford travel to his solicitor and our office, and to buy himself food and new clothes.
P was just about managing in Housing Association accommodation when Covid hit. With only his pension and pension credit, he got into rent arrears and was eventually evicted. Having been in temporary accommodation since then has been difficult, but he has now secured permanent accommodation. However, it is completely unfurnished and he must start again. A bed frame would prevent P from having to sleep on the floor, and help him regain some self-esteem and confidence so that he can get back on his feet.

Our client is a single parent who receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment to live on, and has an old mattress where the springs are poking through. She is in need of a replacement, which is second-hand, but in good order, so that she doesn't have to worry about being hurt by the springs in her current mattress. Our client suffers from arthritis and back pain, and a new mattress would make a big difference to her life at night time. We hope that you can help this woman in her need.
