E, a recovering heroin addict who has managed to get her son back, has found a Housing Association flat after a period of homelessness. Her only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings. The new flat has no carpets and E is having issues with poor soundproofing and a neighbour harassing her. Carpeting the flat will make a huge difference to E and we have an offer of free carpets! We just need kind Acts donors to help us with the cost of fitting.

B, a single mum who lives with her two year old daughter, has made a request to have a tablet. Her husband left her when she was pregnant, causing her to struggle a lot and face many difficult challenges. She is asylum and waiting for her claim.

L is a single woman who receives Personal Independence Payment due to her mental health issues including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bi-polar. Her electricity meter readings were inaccurately read by the fuel company for six months, which has led to a debt accruing. There is still £350 outstanding, but L can meet the remainder amount of £150 arrears. This money will, therefore, allow her to clear her fuel debt before the winter.

L, who is twenty one years old, has just moved into her first property. She claims Universal Credits, has no savings and has been struggling to afford the main essentials for her house. L has been sleeping on the floor, as she has no bed, even though there is no flooring throughout the house. We have been able to provide a new bed and washing machine, and are hoping, with the help of Acts 435, to be able to help carpet her house. Please can you help with the fitting costs?

P suffers with mental health problems and has been unfit for work for over four years. After spending time in supported accommodation, P and her two young children have now moved into their own property. Mum has little to furnish and equip her home, and would be grateful for help to buy a washing machine. She receives Universal Credit, but is struggling to meet her everyday living costs so there is no way she could afford this herself. Your support would be a real blessing for P and her family.

C, who lives alone and is unable to work, due to health issues, is in receipt of Universal Credit, but also has outstanding debt. She is struggling financially and is not in a position to replace her old washing machine which is not working and is beyond repair. C does not have access to anyone else's washing machine so would really appreciate your assistance in replacing her old one. She would be really grateful for any help that you can give with her request. Thank you.

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?

Our client has been living in a house of multiple occupancy for six years. He is unable to work, due to an elbow repair and knee surgery. A planned hernia repair was deferred, due to heart condition. This client socialises little and his main external contact is with his twelve year old son, who lives with ex-wife and visits dad each school holiday. Anything left in the shared kitchen disappears. Dad is currently being helped by a financial advisor at Foodbank. A fridge freezer to replace his small fridge would give him more food space, perhaps encouraging him to mix more, and help his mental health.

Can you please help my client, X, to top-up her gas and electric? She is really struggling financially and is suffering from fuel poverty. X has had her Universal Credit payments stopped.

X suffers from Raynaud's syndrome, which is made worse by the cold, and she can't afford to cook hot meals for herself.

This family, who fled Iraq due to political threats and violence, are seeking asylum in the UK. They have been here for about two years and manage their day to day living expenses on the money they receive. However, they all need shoes for the cold weather.

B is a mum to two little girls and a little boy. Her only income is Universal Credit and she is unable to work, due to her poor mental health. Mum has severe anxiety and depression, following the murder of her sister. She has lived in her house for over two years and has no carpets down. Her home is cold, damp and unsafe for her children. We can carpet it free of charge, but we need a little hep with the fitting costs. If lovely Acts 435 donors could help B, that would be just amazing.

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. This applicant only has a bed, a freezer and a chair, but needs an undercounter fridge to help him with having fresh foods. He would also be very grateful for a wardrobe or chest of drawers.
