£80 needed for repairs to home

This mum suffers from poor mental health and her son displays challenging behaviour, including causing criminal damage in the home. He punches walls when he is angry. The damage to the house really impacts mum's emotional well being. She cannot afford for the repairs to be completed. She would love some help to purchase plaster board, plaster, paint, and wood etc. The idea is that her son will help mum with the repairs to repair the harm and apologise for causing the damage.

Mr A has been rehomed as an emergency due to being a victim of domestic abuse which was both physical, financial and psychological from other members of his family.

£150 needed for a bed and bedding

The client who moved into his accommodation 3 months ago is currently sleeping on the floor which has started to lead to back problems. The client had to leave his old place as it was infested with bed bugs meaning he had to leave all of his furniture behind. Originally he was glad to just be out of there but he has still yet to be able to purchase a bed because of his low income. This support would allow him to purchase a bed and bedding to go with it so he can finally have a good night's sleep.

£120 needed for help towards urgent debt

This client came to us feeling extremely stressed with their financial situation. They had been in £5,000 worth of debt over the past few years and finally 6 months ago they managed to pay it off. However due to an unexpected bill they are fully back into their overdraft. This has brought back stress and anxiety and with a large amount of interest they cannot see the end.

£120 needed for gas and electric arrears

This client came to ask for support as he had recently changed energy suppliers with the promise of better prices. However after just 6 months with his new supplier they have doubled his direct debits and he has found himself in arrears. He plans to change to a cheaper tariff but is now liable to pay the arrears that have been accrued. This has brought quite a lot of stress and anxiety to him and has added to his isolation. This support would pay this off in full and allow him to change supplier.

£75 needed for a fridge/freezer

This is the second time posting for a fridge for this family due to them moving house and needing a bigger one now. (The original donation will be added to this one.) They have had an extremely difficult time so we are hoping this new move will enable them to settle well and the 3 children and the grandson will benefit from some good meals. The mum suffers with her mental health so the older children often need to step into a caring role to help out with younger two.
