£115 needed for a bed frame

G has just moved into his new flat. He has already kindly received some financial support fairly recently to go towards his carpets, which he is absolutely thrilled about. Over the past month, G has been spending a lot of time and care into getting his new flat looking and feeling homely. He put the carpets down himself and he painted and wallpapered himself. He already has a mattress and is in need of a bed frame as the final thing in his flat before it is complete. Can you help with this?

M is expecting twins in 9 weeks and has recently moved out of the care system.

She has recently received donations of clothing, toiletries, nappies and early years toys but she needs a twin pram and can source a clean and robust pram for this amount.

£145 needed for carpet

We have been working with K since early March and he has engaged brilliantly with us. We have completed all our contracted outcomes with him. We are hopeful he will get a good job in the near future. K lives with his wife and his 2 young twins who are 2 years old. It would be great to set them up with a brand new carpet to replace the old damaged one they currently have. The whole family would benefit from this, especially the twins who are into everything.

£150 needed for a cooker

N has recently moved into a flat after an extremely chaotic few months. She is just using a microwave at the moment.

Since working with Junction 42 she is accessing the correct support and mental health care for the first time, consistently, in her life. She moved into her own flat after leaving an abusive relationship. It's great to see her gaining greater confidence and belief that she can make a new life for herself.
