£0 remaining for a petrol and a mobile phone card
This man, who is on Universal Credit (UC), has had major knee surgery and is recovering now, although they don't think it was successful and he needs to have further surgery. Struggling with poor mental health, he is unable to work and his UC doesn't cover his bills, but all of it is being spent on them. This gentleman is using the foodbank and is getting help to increase his benefits. In the meantime, we would love to help with a petrol card and a mobile phone so he can stay connected and get out and about.
This gentleman lives on Universal Credit, and is currently homeless and sofa surfing. He has spent all his benefits on a hotel to stay in, after having to go to Spain to deal with his dad's death there. He only has 2 changes of clothes and would really appreciate the help to get some clothes and shoes that fit.
M is a refugee, and a single mother of two children. M is struggling with her gas bill as her house is very cold. She currently has a bill to pay of £200, and she really needs support to cover this as she cannot afford it and it would mean she didn't have sufficient funds to cover her other essential expenses.
The asylum seeker we are supporting has come to this country fleeing political violence, intimidation, and abduction. His early days in the UK were spent partly at the Bibby Stockholm. He is now housed with 8 other men in a small family home, which has not been provided with adequate white goods. A new refrigerator would help him to store a sufficient amount of food; at the moment, food he receives from a local charity is spoiling because he cannot store it properly.
