Please can you support this family by providing some donations towards a new mattress for mum who is caring for her two children. She is struggling with her mental health and struggling financially. Mum is currently using a ruined mattress and is sleeping on springs. Having a new mattress would mean the world to her and would help her to get a good night's sleep. Thank you.

This single man, who is nearing retirement, is struggling financially, following a divorce and period of homelessness, and is now working with Christians Against Poverty. Recently he has suffered two heart attacks and developed arthritis, making it difficult to get about. This single man needs his car to be able to get to work, but has no funds to be able to afford this, as his budget is unsustainable. Any help you can provide will make a real difference in enabling him to rebuild his life.

N is a single parent and suffers from depression. Her cooker has broken. She has applied to Universal Credit for an advanced payment but has been told that because she has a mortgage and doesn’t claim Housing Benefit she cannot have help with household items. She claims Universal Credit and is awaiting a Personal Independence Plan assessment. Due to paying off other debt and having to do repairs to the house she has not been able to save any money and cannot afford a cooker.
