£0 remaining for a double bed
It was good to have a conversation with this single mum of two children and to chat about the lack of beds in her home. She does not have the means to buy a double bed that is needed for her family. Her support practitioner has been unsuccessful in obtaining grants for her and so she is hoping that she will be able to receive some help through the foodbank and Acts. She does receive Personal Independence Payments as she herself has learning difficulties. Thank you for helping this family.
The client is an Indian citizen who has lived in the UK for 20 years. He is currently homeless and without immigration status. He does not have an Indian passport and needs one for ID purposes. He is struggling with daily life due to not having any ID. Having a passport would also help his immigration case to progress quicker.
Our client is a child who has recently arrived from Afghanistan to reunite with the rest of his family here in the UK. Their family is solely living off of the eldest brother's benefits and is currently struggling greatly with living expenses. They need help with essentials such as food and winter clothes (jackets, jumpers and shoes) which can be costly. Additionally, we will use a portion of these funds to top up their oyster card and provide them with vouchers to spend on other necessities.
