£30 needed for food, energy costs and a phone top-up

D sadly lost her husband due to Covid-19 just before Christmas. She is struggling with debt which has been made worse by subsequent changes to her benefits. She has moved into a smaller flat to try to reduce her living costs and she is seeking help with her debts from Citizens Advice. She is struggling to cover food and utility costs and has no credit on her phone so is unable to make outgoing calls. She has no family support and is feeling very isolated. Help with these costs would be much appreciated.

£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.

£120 needed for a gas bill

L has four young children and is on benefits. Their home is draughty and poorly maintained by their private landlord and it has cost them a lot to keep warm. We supported her to add thick curtains to the doors and windows which has improved things slightly, however they have now shut down two rooms as the gas bill has arrived and L cannot afford to pay it. She is terrified she is cut off. This amount will clear the outstanding bill and allow her to save over the warmer months towards winter. Thank you for any help.

B has recently moved into a flat following a 6 month prison sentence. He suffers with anxiety and struggles to get about because of blood clots in his legs. He has applied for Universal Credit but expects to have to wait another 2 or 3 weeks for his first payment. He has run out of money, has very little food left and doesn’t have any gas so has no heating or hot water. He would be very grateful for help with his food and energy costs and also to buy curtains for his bedroom to give a little privacy and help him sleep.
