£125 needed for a TV and aerial

We met a young chap a few months ago who had been on and off rough sleeping for a long time - we put him in emergency accommodation and since then we have managed to rehouse him in secure accommodation. We have helped him with his status application, he was a heroin user, we have helped him get back on his script and come away from heroin. In the meantime he has been quite down with nothing to do as he has no benefits. We want to buy him a TV to bless him as this will be a huge benefit to him.

£80 needed for a new gas cooker

F is a single parent on benefits. She has lost two of her four children to a congenital condition, the last one about 4 years ago. Her oldest son, who had learning difficulties, died of Covid-19 in January. The loss of the disability benefits has meant a huge drop in her income. She is having to support the son's wife, who is in the UK on a spouse's visa and does not have recourse to public funds. F is very worried about her old gas stove not being safe. Can you help her to get a replacement?

£100 needed for food and heating

F is a regular guest at our soup kitchen and foodbank. He has recently reached pension age, but having been too worried to ask for help with the pension form, the delay has now meant his Universal Credit has been stopped. We have now helped him to get his pension forms in, but he is looking at a time with no income. Any help you could give him for basic needs during this time would be really appreciated.
