£250 needed for a gas cooker
J is a lady in her 60s whose children have left home. The under occupancy penalty came into force and she was unable to cover basic living costs. She then accumulated rent and Council Tax arrears. The council has managed to find her a smaller property. She left her electric cooker behind as there was only connection for a gas cooker in the new property. J is unable to buy a gas cooker as she is on Universal Credit. The cooker that will be ordered is £275 and we already have £25 for it.
£200 needed for food and utilities
J has been a guest of our service for a few years. We have supported him with numerous issues related to his asylum and housing situations and also with emergency needs, as he lives on a very low level of benefit. He has helped on our guest trainee programme and has used our counselling service also. J is in very difficult circumstances currently and although he is budgeting well, he just has little left for basic necessities. Your donations would be used for emergency food and energy bills.
£200 needed for school uniforms and equipment with PE Kits
H is an asylum seeker and a single Mum living in home office accommodation with three children. She has been the victim of a serious Domestic Violence experience in her home country.

£200 needed for electric and gas bills
R is a young man with two children and he’s has really struggled with mental health problems due to being in an abusive relationship. It’s has been extremely bad for his mental health and it’s affected him working. This has now made him behind on his bills, but since going back to church and finding God again he is really trying to make a fresh start and he now just needs help to get out of debt then he can really move on the best he can. He is now also getting counselling to help him through, the trauma he has been through and hopefully he can really make a good start to his new life with his boys. So I know he will be so grateful for your help.

An electric Injera maker (Mitad griddle) will allow her to cook cultural meals, save money, and feel settled. Thank you for your support!
