£200 needed for a gym membership
H, who moved into our supported accommodation a few months back, has struggled with his mental health for a number of years and can isolate himself. He was recently encouraged to try exercising more, so got a short term trial gym membership and went along with someone he met through our organisation. It was really beneficial for his mental health, but he can't afford to pay monthly for a membership from his Universal Credit, on top of his other expenses. This would cover a nine month membership.
£150 needed for a refurbished laptop
M, who is struggling financially, is determined to study and continue his skills as a teacher that he had when he was back in Ghana. He wants to go to Adult Education classes, but is worried that he won't be able to because he doesn't have a laptop to do any of the work he would be given. As he is struggling financially, M has no funds to purchase a laptop. Any help to get one would be greatly appreciated.

£200 needed for a cooker
M came to the UK in 2018 and was working on a construction site in Essex. He moved to Lewisham during the pandemic and began drinking heavily during this period, leading to him eventually losing his job and home. M became street homeless in 2022, until Streetlink placed him in a hostel, and then in September 2024 he was given a permanent home. He is unable to work, due to his health condition, and only receives a limited capability to work allowance. M would be very grateful to have a cooker in his home.

She has a number of serious health conditions including spondylosis of the spine, bulging discs, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and sleep apnea. Following the violence in the house, B has no cooker. She is able to use the oven, but is unable to cook on the hobs. We are requesting your help to enable her to replace the broken cooker.
£200 needed for counselling
This gentleman, who recently joined our housing project, suffered depression after his dad and partner died, which led to alcoholism, losing his employment and also his family members. He has recently come out of a rehabilitation programme and wants to move forward, making changes to his life. This gentleman has no income except basic Universal Credit and no means to pay for counselling. We have contacted a counsellor known to our organisation and this amount will pay for eight sessions.
£200 needed for a food package for Spring Harvest
Our debt client is a single mum with three children who can't afford a holiday, but thanks to a donor covering the accommodation, the family is attending Spring Harvest at Butlins this year. To allow them to socialise at meals with others from the local church who will be eating together, we would love to pay for the most economical food package Butlins offer, as mum, who works in education, cannot afford this. Having the food sorted would bless her with a true rest this Easter holiday.
