£130 needed for a home starter pack, wardrobe and chest of drawers

£150 needed for supermarket vouchers

This gentleman has been trying to support his family for many years whilst simultaneously trying to clear his debts. His debts have become unmanageable and have got on top of him. He is receiving support to deal with his debts, but some Supermarket Vouchers will allow him to afford food for himself, his partner and their four children, and will not only allow him to afford food this month, but give him hope moving forward.

£85 needed for a washing line and a heated airer

This lady sadly lost her husband last year, having been fully reliant on him for her care, all household matters and finances. She is now struggling with debts and bills, but we are helping her get her finances back on track. She had been using a tumble dryer, as she has nowhere to dry her clothes, but her gas and electricity bills are unaffordable. She would really benefit from a rotary washing line to dry clothes in summer and a heated airer for winter, and would be very grateful for any help.
