N was working and able to pay everything until he became very ill with breathing problems and had to stop his manual labouring job. He has been trying to find a job for the last year and has now been offered a job as a taxi driver, taking people to the airport, but needs to get his licence and complete a taxi driving course. It is £200 for both of these, and he isn't on Universal Credit so can't get any help from them. N only has his state pension income. Please can we help him?

P has been struggling to find work as a machinery worker since being made redundant several months ago. His fridge freezer recently broke down and he can't afford to get a new one, so he can't keep food fresh and, therefore, isn't eating well. P would be incredibly grateful if you could help him buy a replacement.

This applicant, who split with his partner during Covid, ended up homeless and was put in a hostel, but has now been given a very small flat. He is currently searching for a job and using food banks.
