S came to the UK to live with her uncle but had to leave his home after the relationship broke down. She has since been supported by the local authority with accommodation. Her Universal Credit has recently stopped after failing the habitual residence test, leaving her without an income. She is awaiting the correct immigration application following a fee waiver and is experiencing significant financial hardship. S needs help to pay for food, clothes and essential travel to legal and medical appointments during this challenging period.

A has lived in the UK for his whole adult life. For a long time, he worked here with no problems, but changes to immigration laws have meant he suddenly found himself unable to prove his right to work and live in the UK. We are assisting him in meeting with his support worker and sorting his immigration status. But in the meantime, he cannot work, and is really struggling. £120 in supermarket vouchers would let him buy groceries for a month while he works on his immigration status so he can work again.
