£0 remaining for a monthly travel card (zones 1-5)
S has moved to a placement far from his community groups and as he is struggling financially, therefore, is struggling to get to these support groups. He is trying his best to keep himself motivated at a very difficult time, but without the financial support it is difficult. S also suffers from diabetes so has a lot of health appointments he needs to attend to. Any help with travel money would be really appreciated.
M and her husband are asylum seekers living in temporary accommodation with their two children. M has carpal tunnel syndrome so preparing food for the family is difficult and there is no suitable equipment in their hotel. A food mixer, rice cooker and microwave would allow them to eat nutritious food. They have been moved several times and need to travel to the children's school to provide continuity so topping-up their Oyster card will help. Lastly, having warm coats would help them stay well in the winter. Any help would be appreciated.
I am supporting a wonderful woman who is a refugee and has two children. She is working hard to gain skills to hopefully be able to go into employment. Mum needs a vacuum and a bed for her new home. These items would make life much more comfortable for her and her family.
G, her husband and two young children, the youngest being just six months old, live in privately rented accommodation. They have leave to remain in UK, but with no resource to public funds, they are experiencing financial difficulties and struggling to cover rent, bills, and basic necessities. G is currently unemployed, and her husband is employed part-time. They were referred to our food bank by the local refugee and migrant advice centre for food and general advice. They particularly need £200 for a mattress and bedding.
