£150 needed for a bankruptcy fee
M, an an older gentlemen living in supported accommodation, suffers with anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He is in recovery and being supported for this. Due to his mental health issues, M has sadly accumulated substantial debt and has sought help from his local Citizens Advice Bureau.

£200 needed for a cooker and a washing machine
Our client is a single father to a six year old child. Following an intrusion into his house, he is in need of a replacement cooker and washing machine. He has been found to have limited capability to work, and is currently in receipt of Universal Credit, so is struggling with limited funds. Our client is suffering with mental health issues and, without a cooker to heat food and a washing machine to clean their clothes independently, this is further impacting his health and well-being.
£200 needed for car repairs and a pair of glasses
J is dealing with a broken car bonnet arm and urgently requires assistance to cover the cost of repairs for essential transportation to health appointments. Financially strained, her recently altered optical prescription requires financial support for glasses to manage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) light sensitivity. These glasses would benefit J greatly as she is an artist and this helps keeps her active when experiencing flare ups.
£200 needed for a washing machine
J, who struggles with poor mental health and works sixteen hours per week, is reliant on Universal Credit. J and his partner have spilt up, but share custody of their children, aged six and fourteen years old, and he pays a substantial amount of money towards his children's care. J struggles with interacting with people. He is currently using a launderette or machines at the local garage. This is expensive, but cheaper weekly than buying a machine. The family are currently supported by our social supermarket and are engaging positively. Please can you help?
£160 needed for a fridge freezer
This man, who has severe mental illness, lives alone and is on benefits. He finds it difficult to manage his money and has accrued debts. Christians Against Poverty is helping him with a plan to pay off his debts. His one solace is fishing and, as this man's fridge freezer has broken, he cannot store his fish to eat later, or keep perishables, such as milk, from going off. Please can you help him to get a second-hand fridge freezer?

£120 needed for a tablet
J is an asylum seeker who has been with us in Lancaster for a few months. He is very keen to use the time while he is waiting to receive leave to remain, and he is accessing all courses that are available to improve his English. Without a tablet, it is very challenging for him to do the home work and access any further learning and resources. Thank you so much for helping him to get his own tablet.
