£80 needed for food and bills

M is a young man who has recently moved to a new flat in Liversedge with his partner A, who is 6 months pregnant. Following the breakdown of his family, when he was 4, there has been no stability for M, who moved frequently through his teenage years, spending some time in foster care and care homes. Since adulthood he has suffered with mental health issues, as is particularly anxious at the moment, as he and his partner have no money for food or bills, as they wait for universal credit.

£80 needed for oven

My client lost her best, and dearest friend a few months ago in a 'pretend' suicide pact that went tragically wrong. Since then my client has been receiving counselling and support to continue with her life. Through this, she has returned to her love of baking, and especially baking for others, finding it therapeutic, distracting, and healing. Unfortunately, her oven is very old and the parts are not available any more so she needs a newer one to be able to be on some path of improvement.
