£200 needed for carpet fitting
F is a single dad with a two year old daughter that lives with him. His only income is Universal Credit and he has no savings or family to support him. F has extensive debts which we are supporting him with. His little girl recently injured herself on bare floorboards, as there are no carpets down. We have an amazing offer of free carpets, but we need a little help with the cost of fitting them. Thanks for reading this.
£200 needed for a double bed
P has three children living with her, aged twenty two, fifteen and nine. Mum is on a low income and has rent, water and Council Tax arrears, as she has struggled to manage her bills, being on a low income. She also has mental health issues and suffers from poor memory, making it especially hard for her to deal with paper work. P is sleeping on an old mattress which is especially bad for her as she suffers with arthritis. £200 would get her a new bed and improve both her physical and mental health.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
A, a mum of three children, has been living in a hotel after fleeing domestic violence. She has just been offered a new house for her and her children, but is moving in with nothing. Mum's+ only income is from benefits and she has no support network to help her. The house has no carpets and A is worried about the safety of her children. We have an offer of free carpets, but help with the fitting cost would make her house into a safe home. We are hoping our kind donors will help us.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
C is a single mother with three children. Pre-pandemic, mum worked as a teacher and during the pandemic she was on maternity leave. When C returned to work, she was unable to keep her previous role and instead took a less flexible and more demanding role. Mum was forced to enter into a protracted dispute with the school which led to serious mental and physical challenges. C's fridge recently broke and, as she is having to use her neighbour's appliance as she can't replace it, would be so grateful for any support.
£200 needed for bunk beds
P has three children living with her, aged twenty two, fifteen and nine. She is unable to work, due to physical and mental health problems, and has a number of arrears as she has struggled to manage on a low income. P also suffers from poor memory, making it hard for her to deal with paper work. Her daughter currently sleeps on an old mattress with her, and the bed the other children use is broken. £200 for bunk beds would dramatically improve the family's sleeping arrangements and help P cope better.
£140 needed for a double mattress
We are working with a family that is in urgent need of a new double bed mattress. Unfortunately, the springs in their current mattress are digging into them, causing discomfort and affecting their sleep. They are in need of a replacement, and we would be incredibly grateful for any donations or help in providing them with a comfortable mattress. The family has been going through a tough time and any assistance would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!
£150 needed for a bed frame
J is a single woman with a number of health conditions including sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, mental illness, angina and asthma. She is in receipt of Universal Credit, which just about covers the cost of living, but she is unable to save. Her bed frame is not suitable and she often finds herself sleeping on the sofa. We are requesting support with a new bed frame to support J physically, which will also benefit her mental health.

WS and her two sons are moving into their first home since receiving their right to remain in the UK.

£170 needed for a second-hand laptop
S, aged twenty two, is from Sudan and came over to England together with his mum and siblings about five years ago. He has struggled to find his way since finishing school, but now is ready to go to college to continue with his education. To do so, S would benefit significantly from having his own laptop. His family struggles financially with his mum trying her best to feed everyone. Thank you so much for helping S to be able to continue with his education.
