This gentleman lives in a bedsit with a shared kitchen and until recently had no lock on his bedroom door. As a result his pots and pans, cutlery, bedding and clothes have regularly been going missing. He lives with mental health problems, including extreme anxiety and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, so in unable to work and his benefits all go to daily living expenses. So we are appealing for your help to replace at least some of the above items now that he has a secure space. Thank you.

K became homeless in November 2024 after a relationship breakdown with her mother. She remained street homeless and sofa-surfing for a few months, until the local Council provided temporary accommodation. She receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments (for sickle cell) and is not working because of full time studies. This is her first tenancy as she is currently 19 years old. She would be so happy to have some bedroom furniture. Thank you for reading this.
