Our client, a newly granted refugee who receives Universal Credit, has recently moved into rented private accommodation. He needs your generous donation to afford a washing machine. With the moving costs and getting other essential furniture for his house, he could not afford to purchase a washing machine. With the increase in energy bills, he is struggling to handwash and dry his clothes. Your donations will be massively helpful to him.
Still £190 left to donate

Total needed £200M is a refugee who recently rented a private house which is unfurnished. He is in low income and cannot afford to buy all the furniture, therefore, he needs your support to purchase a washing machine. Your donation will make a difference to M's day to day life. Thank you.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200F is a refugee who recently received a council house after years of waiting on the Social Housing waiting list. The house is a blank canvas and she needs to carpet her home. This is a large cost, especially for someone receiving Universal Credit. The opportunity to carpet the house for free is a true lifeline, however, F needs support to pay the fee for a contractor to fit the carpets. The remaining cost of materials etc. is provided free of charge.
