£0 remaining for a second hand cooker
D has been without a cooker for some years and only has a microwave in which to heat any food. When trying to encourage him to take part in a Bags of Taste cooking course I realised that he had nothing on which to cook a real meal for himself. He is on Universal Credit and has been advised to apply for Personal Independence Payments because of his health conditions. Being able to cook a proper meal again would change his life and lift his spirit.
S is on benefits and, as all her money goes on bills, she has no money left over to be able to buy a mattress. The current mattress is in really poor condition and S can feel the base of her bed, which has now given her a very painful back. Please can you help her to replace the double mattress?

This family, consisting of father, mother and three teenagers, all have learning difficulties and are unable to work. They are receiving benefits, have no savings and live in a social housing flat. They have a lot of debt because they struggle to budget on a low income. Christians Against Poverty is putting together a debt repayment plan for them. Both their washing machine and double bed are broken and we can replace them with good second-hand replacements for £100 and £60 respectively, through our local supplier DFS.
