£0 remaining for a sofa, table and chairs
T has recently signed for a new tenancy. He struggles with many daily tasks, due to his medical condition and the medication he is on. Because of his medical condition, he is unable to work, so does not have funds to furnish his new flat. Friends and family have helped him as much as possible, but he is short of a sofa, table and dining chairs, which he is happy to purchase from a local Charity Shop. Having these will help him settle into his new home and he will be more comfortable.

DB is a young single mum who works part-time whilst claiming benefits. Due to the thresholds of Universal Credit, her wages often mean she is classed as earning above their threshold and she then receives no benefits. This has put incredible pressure on DB, as she has to pay additional nursery fees to attend work, and also travel to and from work and nursery. She currently owes the nursery £200 in fees and has no means of clearing this debt without accruing debt somewhere else.
My client had a catastrophic motorbike crash in March last year and suffered a broken pelvis and spinal fractures. He is now disabled, with severe mobility issues, and is unable to work. He has gone from working full-time to living on a low, means tested income, and is struggling to make ends meet. My client doesn't have a working pair of glasses and can't afford the cost of a new pair. He would massively benefit from money to buy a new pair of glasses so that he can manage daily essential tasks.
