£120 needed for beds for a new flat

L is a single mum of two young children and is on benefits. She was renting privately but the landlord has requested that they leave the property, so L has had to move in with her mum in her two bedroom flat. They have now been housed by the local housing association in a flat which needs completely furnishing. We have managed to get her a sofa and microwave with help from the Salvation Army, but desperately need to get beds for her and the children. Their only income at present is Child Tax Credit & Benefit, and they have applied for Universal Credit. Please help this family.

£120 needed for counselling

This very young lad needs urgent help as he is struggling with his peers and teachers at school. He is extremely angry all the time but will not discuss his situation at school or his home life with anyone. He is constantly being excluded from school and sent out at break time. At the age of 8 he should not have such devastating problems and the situation needs to be urgently addressed. We hope that with counselling he can discuss his anger without repercussions.

£100 needed for a reconditioned washing machine

A is suffering from osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and vascular dementia. He and his wife are in debt and have moved into a house on our estate that they cannot furnish properly. They have also had to use the local food bank when they have had no food in their home. They have recently acquired a mini cooker, but it would be tremendously helpful to have a reliable washing machine and not to have to rely on a kindly neighbour to do their washing for them.

£120 needed for a cooker

S is a single mum to a pre-school child and has just been moved from temporary accommodation to permanent accommodation. The council had promised to give her a cooker from another house which was empty, but someone else was allocated the house with the cooker, and now there are no funds left to pay for a cooker for S. All she has is a microwave which is not suitable for the food she has received from our food bank. She is at risk of making both her and her child ill by not cooking food properly.

£40 needed for living costs

A is a single mum with a 6 year old boy. She is training to be a social worker. She is struggling to manage financially at present because of a delay in receiving this term's college bursary. This is due to problems at the college she is studying, and having to find a new tutor for her course. She cannot easily work at present, to bring in income, as this would have to be at weekends and she would then have to find childcare for her son. She would be very grateful for your help with food and bills in the short term.

£120 needed for electricity arrears

L and her partner are both unable to work due to autism. They live independently in their rented flat, and survive on limited benefits. L has £31 deductions each month on her Universal Credit, relating to an over payment of benefits. She also has £120 arrears on her electric smart meter, so £3 of every £10 put in gets taken to clear debt. They have no other debts, but due to these two problems they are needing to use Food banks to survive. £120 would clear their electric arrears and help them stay independent.
