£200 needed for carpets
This family have been granted asylum, and are about to move into a permanent home after several years of uncertainty. The house has no flooring, so they will need carpets. They have saved the majority of money towards this, but they are still a significant amount short. They are a Christian family who have overcome significant challenges, and the dad is now qualified as a nurse and looking for work, while the mum is due to start university after recovering from a mental health crisis.

A moved to Glasgow 2 years ago after fleeing war torn Sudan and has made a new, safe life for himself here. A is on limited income, but has been very creative and managed to piece together some furniture etc. from local charity shops and free sites. He is struggling with bare floors and we would love to help him to get carpets to make his home warm and comfortable.
£200 needed for food vouchers and bills
E is a middle aged lady who has worked all her life in the education sector supporting our most vulnerable children. She fell ill and lost her job during the Covid period. E has been trying to get back on her feet and find work, with help from the job centre, but her health issues complicate matters. We would like to help her with food vouchers and pay towards her utility bills as she lives on very little.
£200 needed for a wardrobe and chest of drawers
G has just moved to the area after fleeing domestic violence and is being supported by the local Domestic Violence team. After moving between hotels, she has now been offered a home which came unfurnished. Although she has received most essential household items from her support team, she's in need of a wardrobe and a chest of drawers for her bedroom which will help create a stable living environment, and support her in settling into the community so she can focus on finding work and rebuilding her life.
£175 needed for a sofa
E lives alone with her severely autistic, non-verbal son and is experiencing significant financial hardship. Their existing sofa is broken and no longer provides suitable seating for daily family life. Without adequate furniture, everyday activities at home have become increasingly difficult. E has identified a small two-seater sofa that would provide a safe and comfortable place for both her and her son. Could you help pay for this essential item?
£200 needed for a sofa, shelves and chest of drawers
D is married with a 21‑month‑old baby. The family has been living in temporary accommodation and has now been offered a permanent home. They receive Universal Credit and are actively looking for work. They have some household items but still need a sofa, shelves, and a chest of drawers to make their home comfortable and safe for their child. Your support will be highly appreciated.
£200 needed for new school uniforms, shoes and coats
This client is a 39-year-old father who has recently separated from his wife. Following a diagnosis of poor mental health, he has been unable to continue working and is now reliant on benefits. He shares the care of his two children, aged 10 and 4, but his reduced income means he is unable to afford essential school uniforms, including winter coats and school shoes for the new term. We are requesting support towards these costs to ensure the children can return to school with all they need.
£200 needed for a washing machine
S is a regular member of the community drop-in centre in receipt of Universal Credit. She has suffered with substance misuse issues for many years but is currently trying her best to live life without the use of drugs and is attending our centre regularly, plus engaging with the substance misuse services. She also suffers from mental health issues. She has been without a washing machine for years and washes by hand. Any donations for a washing machine will really help ease her daily life.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
This lady, her husband and little girl are refugees with leave to remain. The lady's husband is very keen to work but, at the moment, is in college learning the language. They have a very small fridge that they were given and for which they are grateful but they would like a fridge freezer so they are able to take advantage of offers at the supermarket. This would help them with managing their money. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
