£175 needed for a washing machine
R is a lady with a chronic health condition which means her daughters have to live with their grandmother. She has just obtained a tenancy from the local council, but is effectively starting from scratch. She receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments and so has limited funds to make her home. She would really benefit from having her own washing machine. Please could you help with this purchase. She would be so grateful for your kindness.
£190 needed for a skip hire plus a permit
This single mum with two teenagers is on low income and struggling financially with bills and debt. Mum has let her home become unsafe and cluttered due to stress and anxiety. Both children are in care of the local authorities and cannot come home until the house is safe. Mum has done a lot already but needs help with a skip to declutter the bedrooms for the children. Please can you help?
£95 needed for a mobile phone
We are requesting funding for a mobile phone for C, who has recently been temporarily housed in a House of Multiple Occupancy after a period of rough sleeping. As he works to rebuild his life, a phone would help him access essential services, maintain contact with support workers, manage appointments and deal with personal affairs independently. This support would make a meaningful difference to his stability, wellbeing and independence.
£150 needed for a school uniform and winter clothes
R is a single mother to a six-year-old daughter and has recently been moved into temporary accommodation after experiencing housing instability. The property is only partially furnished, placing additional financial pressure on the family as they rebuild their lives. R is seeking support to purchase essential school uniform items for her daughter, including shoes and a warm winter coat, ensuring she can attend school comfortably, confidently, and fully prepared for the colder months.
£200 needed for a cooker
H is currently receiving benefits and is struggling to manage on a very limited income. Their cooker is no longer working, leaving them unable to prepare hot meals at home. A replacement cooker would enable them to cook safely, reduce reliance on costly ready meals, and improve their health and wellbeing. This support would make a significant difference, helping them maintain independence and manage their household more effectively during a difficult financial period.
£190 needed for clothing and bedding
We have been working with this single mum for some time to improve her financial situation. She has made great progress, obtaining a job with increased hours, paying off energy debt and rent arrears. She has unfortunately had an infestation of bed bugs at her home that has taken some time to resolve. A consequence is that she has had to discard bedding and clothing to help resolve the problem. Are you able to help her replace the bedding and clothing that she has lost?
£200 needed for an orthopaedic king mattress
W is a single woman with a number of health concerns, including obesity which has not been helped by cancer and low thyroid in the past. She is just moving to a smaller house on one floor and with one bedroom. She has had her mattress for over 10 years, it is sunk in the middle, and means that she is unable to sleep which then affects her health. With the new start of the house, she wants to make a real effort to improve her health and a supportive king mattress will help.
£200 needed for a shopping trolley, pressure cooker and a drop leaf table
R is a single Afghan lady who was recently moved into a supported flat. She lacks several essential appliances to live on her own. To improve her independence and well-being, she needs a pressure cooker to help her prepare traditional food and batch-cook on days when her health limits her energy. And a wheeled shopping trolley to maximise the food she can carry, and also a small table and two chairs for her kitchen.
£200 needed for domestic heating oil
Christians Against Poverty has supported M for several years through a debt management plan. M is a single pensioner living alone in a rural village with no gas mains, so her only heating option is domestic oil. She has saved money towards the cost of 500 litres. We are requesting £200, which the Debt Centre will match. Your support would help M stay warm and secure in her home this winter.
