£120 needed for school uniforms

Rachel is a single-parent living with her three children aged 16, 14 and 12 in rented accommodation, and she requires assistance purchasing school uniforms for her two sons. As Rachel has recently completed a Debt Relief Order, it is difficult for her to obtain credit and she wishes to avoid getting into debt again, so receiving support from Acts 435 would be a huge help for her. Rachel has been unemployed for the long-term due to several mental health conditions.

£70 needed for shoes and furniture

Ben has paranoid schizophrenia. He has accommodation and some support but has a profound distrust of the outside world and keeps very isolated. He writes a great deal on his laptop, finding this helps him control his life. He has sought help from Citizens Advice because he would like a small desk and chair to use his laptop more easily. In addition, it became evident that he needs new shoes, which he also can't afford. A kind donation for these would be great for his morale and comfort.
