Safe Families is supporting a family that has a son with complex health and emotional needs, meaning they require frequent and urgent laundry of bedding and clothing, often through the night.

A new tumble dryer would greatly alleviate this burden and provide essential support during a tough time.

This lady is unemployed and has health issues that make work difficult. She realises it is not impossible, and has a work coach, through a local charity, to help her set up her own business so she can manage when she works.

This lady is on a low level of benefits and needs help to pay an engineer to repair her boiler.

M, who has just been offered a council flat after many years of waiting, is a single man on Universal Credit and looking for work.

We are working with a mom who is single, has two children, aged 2 and 4, and relies on being able to cook quickly which helps her give children food how they like it. Her previous air fryer has broken and she is now struggling to feed her children in a timely manner. Mom's benefits just about cover day to day living and travel, so she cannot afford to replace this herself, but really misses it since it has broken.

V is supporting her daughter, a single mum to two young children. One of the children is at secondary school in year 8.

V is an active volunteer at church, who is always willing to support others who are in need and help out wherever she can. They both work hard, but this unexpected cost is too much for them to afford without support.
