Welcome
M is an elderly, retired lady who has had to move out of her current property due to the passing of her companion who she was living with - she was given a couple of months to find a place to move. She has now found a new property but unfortunately has no money to purchase any furniture and what she really needs is a bed to sleep on.
A lady who through circumstances has debts, she is unable to pay and is reliant on family to provide meals and some shopping to eke out her monthly finances. She has been advised to apply for a debt relief order, which costs £90.00 and her personal finances will not stretch to cover that amount.

This gentleman has been recently rehoused into unfurnished accomodation. He had been with Newstart for a year and had recovered enough for a fresh start. He is on benefits and suffers from depression. He is trying to help himself by painting his flat which is looking fresh and clean. He needs carpet, table and a settee or chairs. Bedroom furniture and some kitchen items have been given by a charity already but do not have the other items he needs. Please can you help him.
This lady had to give up her university course when she fell pregnant. Her little girl is now 20 months old and she returns to uni this year to continue studying. She aims to improve both their lives and wants to be a teacher. While at uni her mother will share childcare duties together with a nursery placement. She is a sensible and caring mother, determined to do this. The request is for a dyslexia assessment by the uni so that uni will give her the extra help/equipment she needs.
After being unemployed for 4 years and working with Christians Against Poverty to manage debt issues, this lady was delighted to find a job. The next week her car broke down and this is essential for the new job. It would be devastating for her to have to leave the job because she is unable to get to her work. It is not an expensive repair, but quite out of her reach.
Gwen is working poor, has a disposable income of £14.07 per week. Until recently she used to be given 1 hour overtime a week, this gave her enough money to take up belly dancing. It has helped her to build relationships, not be so isolated (she lives alone) have an outside interest, and also keep fitter. Sadly due to the loss of the overtime she will have to stop her one leisure activity. Can you help her to pay for classes until Christmas at which time she has been told she will get overtime again.
The tenant who came to us in need of accomodation, who we where able to house is now in need of funding to help pay for some clothes and a new haircut and shave. He came with absolutely no belongings and is in desprate need of fuinding to buy clothes so he has something more than just what he is wearing. Any support would be massively appreciated.
Ben's been struggling with alcohol use for some years. He's now getting the support he's needed for so long and things may be improving. He feels ready to try for a job but has only the clothes he stands up in and this would make a bad impression at an interview. Ben would like to try charity shops for a jacket, trousers and a shirt but he needs serviceable shoes and new underwear as well. £100 would help kit Ben out decently and he'd be very grateful for the help.
H. and her partner are on a low income, have 2 children and are struggling with unmanageable debt, which is causing stress and worry. They are now working with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and have been advised to apply for a debt relief order, which costs £90.00 each. Please consider donating to this to help this family have a fresh start.
R and his family are on a low income and are struggling with unmanageable debt, which is causing stress and worry. R also has health problems so is currently unable to work. They are now working with Christians Against Poverty and have been advised to apply for a debt relief order, which costs £90.00 each. R has managed to save £20 towards this. Please consider donating towards the remaining £70 fee this to help this family have a fresh start, and release from the stress of debt.
