£150 needed for a bed and mattress

M moved into his new flat in December with little furniture. He has been sleeping badly on a chair since then. M has long-standing mental health issues, is waiting for knee replacement surgery and is a carer for his elderly mother. Unable to sleep, M’s depression has worsened culminating in an attempted suicide. Being able to have proper rest and a comfortable space would really help him restore some perspective on his life and enable him to start planning for the future.

£100 needed for a washing machine

R and his family of 4 lived in a single room for over a year. Before Covid-19, R had a steady job but was furloughed and was eventually made redundant during the latest lockdown. They have used all of their small savings and now rely on Universal Credit. They were so relieved to have been offered a 2 bedroom flat just recently but are struggling to furnish it with basic essentials. They desperately need a washing machine as they cannot afford regular trips to the launderette.

£150 needed for a carpet

A and her 2 children were recently moved to a council house in the Canterbury area from a refuge in London after fleeing domestic abuse. The house is only partly furnished and there are no carpets downstairs, just bare concrete. This means that in addition to being trapped at home during lockdown, A and the children are also trapped upstairs as it's so cold downstairs and dangerous for her very young children to run around on the hard floors. A carpet in the front room would make a massive difference, can you help?
