£200 needed for a washing machine
D is a vulnerable adult with complex needs who has recently been supported into his own accommodation. However, it is unfurnished and he has a low income and no savings with which to purchase furniture. His most pressing need is for a washing machine, which would mean he could keep his clothes and bedding clean at home without costly and time-consuming trips to the launderette. This will help D to keep his expenditures down, helping him to budget better, as well as keeping clean.
£200 needed for an IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam
Y seeks your support for a refugee aspiring to become a secondary school teacher. He must pass the IELTS exam to pursue a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education), but the exam fee is a major hurdle. Your donation will help cover this cost, bringing him closer to his goal of inspiring future generations. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact on his journey. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
When her rental agreement ended, A had to leave her home and move to a new property. The new flat does not have a fridge freezer and she doesn't own one. A has a low income - she is trying to seek work, but it has to fit around her childcare responsibilities. Your support to purchase a fridge freezer would mean that she could store food safely, helping her to shop and eat more healthily and affordably, meaning the family will be better fed, and A's limited budget will go further.
£200 needed for an oven
K, who is currently only receiving Universal Credit, was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia in January. She has been unable to work for the last year, due to the pain and fatigue she has been experiencing. K, who had to leave her last home as she could no longer afford it, is now in a small bungalow, but has no money to buy the things she needs, and has no savings. K already has some white goods, but no oven. She is trying to cook fresh and keep costs down, but only has a microwave at the moment.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
I am supporting a lovely refugee family of six who were all living in one room for a year, but have finally been given a three bedroom flat as temporary accommodation. The property came mostly unfurnished and they are having to slowly buy their furniture. The family is in need of a fridge freezer - a small one was supplied, but it does not meet the family's needs. The mum of the family is such a great cook and will, no doubt, be making wonderful meals for the family to enjoy.
£200 needed for a dining table and chairs, pots, pans and tableware
We have a disabled volunteer who is unable to work and helps us at the Foodbank. He was in assisted living, but has now been given his own studio apartment. Our client relies on disability benefits, finds it hard to make ends meet and has, on occasion, been a service user. He needs support to help pay for furniture for this new apartment. This amount would buy pots, pans, tableware, and a dining table with chairs.
£195 needed for a table, six chairs and seat cushions
This family of six would like to have a table and chairs so they can sit and eat together as a family. Mum and dad are struggling to manage two of their children's behaviours and they are being assessed for ASD (autism spectrum disorder). The family has recently move into a new home with a bit more space to meet its needs, but is struggling financially. We would love to help them purchase the new table and chairs, with some chair covers, for the kids. Please could you help this family? Thank you.
£180 needed for an orthopaedic mattress
We have some former clients of Christians Against Poverty who successfully became, and have stayed, debt free, but are still living on a very low income. Their current mattress is worsening one partner's back pain, but they do not have enough income to save up for a new mattress and they do not want to acquire debt again by borrowing the money to buy a new one. It would be a huge blessing to them if you could help them get an orthopaedic mattress which will improve their sleep and overall health.
£200 needed for a skip
This single mum and her one year old child are hoping to move house soon, but in order to move, they need to clear out their back garden. The family is struggling financially. We would love to help them with a skip so they can tidy up the garden and move home to have a fresh start. Mum would be moving to live closer to her support network, who she can turn to for help. Please could you help this family? Thank you.
