£200 needed for bedroom carpet
N has recently moved into her own flat after a period of living in supported accommodation. She had to leave the family home due to a breakdown in relationship. She has engaged well with staff in supported accommodation, making enough progress to move on to independence. N's new tenancy has no flooring throughout and any help you could give her to get some carpets down would make the place feel so much more homely.
