£200 needed for a laptop
Z comes to our food bank, having been housed after a period of severe depression and homelessness, following the deaths of his father and best friend. He was run over by a bus a couple of years ago and has taken many months to recover. Z is now receiving the medical help he needs both physically and mentally to address the post traumatic stress disorder he suffers. He feels ready to go back to work, but will need a laptop for his area of expertise. Please can you help him to rebuild his life?
£200 needed for a double bed and mattress
This gentleman, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder traits, has returned home to the UK after living in Malawi. He has been staying with his sister and her family for a year as he is unemployed and has been unable to afford accommodation. This gentleman has now been allocated social housing and is due to move in. He has been successfully sourcing economical second-hand furniture and white goods. However, he has been unable to afford a bed frame and mattress, and we would like to provide them for him.
£175 needed for a freezer
S was made redundant about eighteen months ago and has since struggled with her mental health. She receives benefits, but is finding it difficult to make her monthly payments last more than a couple of weeks. Your support to buy a freezer would mean that S could buy in bulk then store food in the freezer, and also allow her to batch cook meals and store them, helping her to make her limited income stretch further.
£200 needed for a cooker
M is a single mother who recently moved into the area. She is currently unemployed and receiving Universal Credit as her only source of income. The local authority has allocated a new unfurnished flat, which she is now trying to make safe and suitable for her child. M is desperate for a cooker as she is struggling to manage day-to-day living without this essential kitchen appliance. A new cooker would help her to cook healthy and affordable dishes for her child.
£200 needed for vouchers for food, clothes and toiletries
J is a single mother who is in great need of support in the short-term future in order to afford the bare necessities of food, clothes and toiletries for her and her family. She is employed, working long hours to manage bills and living, but due to a change in management, there has been a delay in payment which has caused an immediate stress and inability to afford the essentials. A £200 supermarket voucher would greatly reduce J's stress as this time.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
C, who cares for his young daughter, has debts from parking penalties and Council tax. His income is Universal Credit, and he has never worked, but wishes to change this. Interactions with bailiffs at home have increased his anxiety. C often prioritises feeding his daughter over himself, while trying to pay debts, and goes hungry. His fridge freezer broke nearly two years ago and hasn’t been replaced due to limited funds. A new appliance would help him shop efficiently and focus on resolving his debts.
£180 needed for a Council Tax debt
D's partner has recently passed away, and he is now unfit for work due to his own health conditions. His income has dropped massively because of his changes in circumstances. D has had an Exceptional Hardship Payment which has dealt with most of his Council Tax arrears, but a small amount remains. It would be fantastic to be able to clear the final £180 to give him a fresh start for the new financial year.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
B and her family have a very low income and struggle to afford the essentials of daily life, having to use a food pantry for fresh fruit and vegetables to supplement their shopping. They have no fridge freezer, and can't afford to buy one, which means they can't keep fruit and veg fresh for long. Your support to buy one would mean they could keep fresh food safely, as well as allowing B to batch cook and store meals, which is more affordable, helping them to stretch their income further.
£160 needed for a phone, clothes and shoes
