It's meant that he can stay warm without worrying about high heating bills and without worrying about filling up a hot water bottle that's only going to warm up one small area at a time. It's safer for him as well.

£200 needed for a washing machine
M is a refugee who has recently been offered social housing; however, the property is unfurnished. He would greatly benefit from your generosity to help purchase a washing machine, so he can move in and begin settling after a long period of stress and uncertainty. M is currently receiving Universal Credit and would appreciate any support towards obtaining key furniture and making his home comfortable. Any assistance you can provide will help ease the financial pressure he is facing.
£200 needed for a cooker
M is in need of a cooker as his appliance is broken beyond repair. He is working hard to stay clean of drugs and alcohol, and receiving support from the local church, Cocaine Anonymous and Christians Against Poverty. M is on a low income and is unable to work due to his current situation and his recently diagnosed mental health conditions. A new cooker would enable him to cook at home and not be dependent on takeaways which he cannot afford.
£200 needed for a cooker
G lives with her husband and two young children. They are on a low income, struggling to pay their energy and water bills, and visit a food bank for food. Their cooker has recently broken and they are not able to cook. Please can you help to replace their cooker?
£200 needed for one month's travel to therapy and college
S is an asylum seeker who is going through the appeals process with the Home Office. He has no recourse to public funds or right to work, leaving him completely reliant on charitable grants. S, who has mental and physical health issues, needs to travel to therapy appointments, hospital appointments, college, and appointments with his solicitor. This funding would cover S's travel for one month in London.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
P receives Universal Credit and has been attending our centre for some years. She looks after and supports her elderly mother, brings her to the centre, and has managed to get her involved with some of the community activities. P lives alone and is on medication which needs to be kept in a fridge, but her fridge freezer has broken down, so she is currently using a neighbour's fridge which isn't ideal in the long-term. Any donations towards a fridge freezer would really help P get back on track.
£200 needed for a flat clearance
This lady has had an incredibly difficult couple of months, losing both her parents in a short space of time. Understandably, she is juggling an awful lot while also dealing with the grief of her loss. One big task is to clear out her parents' flat which, along with everything else she is struggling to afford. This money, if raised, will pay for a local 'man with a van' to take care of this for her and remove this burden from her shoulders.
£100 needed for a mobile phone
F is an asylum seeker from Iran and, because of the war conditions, the internet is restricted to local apps only. Since Apple/iOS is sanctioned there, those apps only work on Android now. F needs an Android phone specifically so she can stay in contact with her family, as it's the only way they can reach her right now. The agony of not being able to contact them is huge, and she begs for your understanding and help.
£200 needed for a house clearance
This lady lost her mother recently and very unexpectedly after a fall. This has been made even more difficult as she is currently unemployed so struggling to meet all the related costs. Her mother's home was rented and so she has limited time to clear it before charges start to mount up. This lady has reached out for help with this and so we are seeking the funding to pay for a local 'man with a van' to carry out this work for her, something which will ease her stress considerably.
