£0 remaining for a living room and bedroom carpet
We got to know D, his wife and their four young children through our Children and Family Centre. They live in a one bedroom flat, but have managed to get a new flat through the council that is larger, though very bare. D has started doing it up, but they have very little money. He is currently studying and his wife works as a carer, so their income is small. They would love to get a carpet for the largest bedroom and living room that will warm the house and make it more comfortable.
N has been in rehabilitation for the last eighteen months and is moving back to Scotland to start an internship with us. She has made brilliant progress and is about to move into her new tenancy, where she will be starting from scratch and needing to build things up over a period of time. Her role with us is unpaid. N is excited to have her own home so she can have her kids visit, make it a place to build her life again and start planning for her future. We are delighted to be having N come on board this year.
