£90 needed for a Debt Relief Order

M was referred to us from a local re-housing charity following eviction from his home of 6 years due to a change of landlord earlier this year and conflict in the relationship. M is sofa-surfing and hiding from other creditors but desperately wants to move on. Getting a Debt Relief Order will enable him to do this. He has no one to ask for monetary help and being on Universal Credit means he has no spare income to save. M is trying to turn a bad situation into something positive - can you help?

£120 needed for a cooker

A is part of a historical child sexual exploitation case. Her home has been breached and she has suffered harassment as a result of this, and it is also in a poor state of repair with Housing Standards involved. She looks after her two children and her brother. Recently her cooker broke which means she is unable to prepare healthy meals for the family - and having to replace it would mean she is further from having saved enough to move to a new, safe home.

£120 needed for a sofa

S was made homeless by her family as a teenager with a 2-year-old daughter. She has been housed by the council, but is currently living in just the bedroom as her bed and cot are her only furniture. She would really benefit from having a sofa or chairs downstairs so that she can make use of the whole house and not have to spend so much time in a single room.
