£200 needed for a vented tumble dryer
T is a single mum to three children who is being supported by the Early Intervention in Psychosis Team, as she struggles with voices. She also suffers from severe pain, due to fibromyalgia, which means she is unable to work. T's mum helps her multiple times a day as her pain often leaves her bedridden. She struggles in particular with hanging out her washing, of which there is a lot for the family, due to the pain, so a dryer would really ease that burden, but she cannot afford one on her benefits.
£200 needed for a sofa and a coffee table
S, a young lady who has moved into semi independent living, had a breakdown in family relationships. She is learning to manage her mental health and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. S struggles to relax and spends most of her time busy attending judo, with horses, walking, and helping out with the local scout hut. She claims Universal Credit which only covers the bills and food shop. S would greatly benefit from a sofa and a coffee table to create a space, enabling her to learn to relax and spend some social/down time.

M, who is currently staying in semi-supported living, has a one year old boy and is currently pregnant again.

£200 needed for a washing machine

£200 needed for a washing machine
L, who was made homeless with her four year old child, has now secured a new, one bedroomed tenancy, but it is unfurnished and she has no possessions. L has a very low income and cannot afford to buy much, so your support to buy a washing machine would make a huge difference to her, meaning she can keep her limited clothes and bedding clean without costly and time-consuming trips to the launderette.
£175 needed for a washing machine
B and his partner, both care leavers, have been rehoused via a managed move as they received threats to their life. They were unable to take many possessions with them and have virtually nothing. A neighbour is lending them pots so they can eat and drink. We are able to help with this locally, but would like your help in getting them a washing machine as they have limited clothing and bedding. Their income is joint Universal Credit. They would really appreciate any help you can give them. Thank you.
£150 needed for emergency accommodation, food vouchers and a travel ticket
Our client was referred to us by a partner organisation as he was travelling to attend court. He has been staying in recovery accommodation for the past six months after fleeing domestic violence. Due to a low income, he is unable to afford accommodation, food or travel while attending court. This support would allow us to cover three nights in a hotel, provide supermarket vouchers and purchase a ticket back to his accommodation, ensuring he does not end up rough sleeping during this time.
£175 needed for an electric cooker
D, having left his parents' family home due to a falling out, has now just obtained his first council tenancy. He is currently on Universal Credit and is not in a position to purchase furniture or white goods as he has no savings and is effectively starting from scratch. D has managed to gather a few items, but currently has no means of cooking food, so a cooker would be a game changer for him. If you can help with this purchase that will be a huge help to him in his current situation.
