£150 needed for debt arrears
This supported person, who is suffering with seizures and poor mental health, lives alone. He has debt arrears which he is slowly paying off, but we would like to help him clear the debts so we can apply to get him a flat nearer his family. There is a constant worry that this person will have a seizure alone at home and nobody will know about it. £150 will help reduce the amount of his payment plan.
£200 needed for a rent top-up
This single mum, who has three children, including a four month old baby, is changing over to Universal Credit (UC) in mid October. Money is very short, as she pays £200 a month top-up on her rent. Mum is really concerned as to how she will get through the wait until her UC is paid. SMILE Faithworks has worked with her on a budget, is helping with food and applying to reduce or freeze bills were possible. We are seeking £200 to prevent mum going into debt with her rent, due to changing over to UC.
£200 needed for a bed and mattress
The gentleman, who has just moved into a flat, following a period of homelessness, is trying to rebuild his life whilst dealing with severe mental and physical health issues. He currently lacks many household items and sleeps on the floor, as he doesn't have funds for furniture. This is making this gentleman's health conditions worse, so we would like to help him to sleep peacefully in his own bed. We are supporting him to obtain health-related benefits so he can start to move forward in life.

£200 needed for a cooker

£200 needed for a removal van
This single gentleman, aged fifty seven, is in his first real home after being homeless. He is currently using most of his benefit money to pay for storage, as he cant afford to hire a ‘man with a van’ to move the items to his new home. Please would you consider donating £200 so that we can organise this on his behalf?
