Mum, who is a single parent to her son, is very isolated and doesn't have any friends or family to turn to for support. She is struggling financially as she has had to give up work in order to care for her son. Mum would love to buy some new clothes for her and her son, especially as the weather gets colder. She doesn't like leaving the house in the same clothes and feels that she is being judged. This would help to build up mum's confidence and happiness. Please could you help? Thank you.

This young lady, who has fled domestic abuse, had to leave with just the clothes she was wearing and nothing else. She has no money, as her partner controlled all her money, and is waiting for a benefit review. This young lady is now in a safe place to heal and recover, but is in need of warm winter clothes and basic toiletries. The Refuge will help her to buy these things with your gift to her. She is very grateful and finds it incredible that strangers want to help her.

This man has been hospitalised recently, due to a mental health breakdown, and he is now ready to be discharged back into the community. Unfortunately, while he has been in hospital, he has lost his home and all his belongings, so is asking for help with some clothes, a kettle, plates and cups, until he gets permanent accommodation. Due to this man being in hospital for a period of time, his Universal Credit claim has been impacted and, therefore, he finds himself in financial difficulties.

W is a lady who has been unwell for the last eight months and has been in and out of hospital for a very long time. Due to her ill health, she has lost a lot of weight and all the clothes she had from before do not fit any more. W needs financial support to help with buying some new and warm clothes that can fit her and keep her warm, as she continues to get treatment. She also needs to buy some healthy foods to keep a balanced diet, as she is on continuous medication.

C, who has been street homeless since 2019, came to us for support finding some warm clothing and food now that the weather is turning colder. We have been able to get some items donated from a local charity, however, he has very few items of clothing and they are very worn. C has no cooking facilities and no income so struggles to access food and is very malnourished. We are supporting him to find emergency housing, claim Universal Credit and to find work as this is his long term aim.

S is the father in a family of nine who are living in the UK as refugees. He and his wife are anxious to learn English as soon as possible so that they can find employment.

They are also in need of coats for their seven children and warm winter clothes. Please would you help us to support this family as they try to settle into a very different life here?

MB, a vulnerable, single male who is currently sleeping rough, is battling with his immigration status. He has recently been in and out of hospital, due to ongoing health issues which cause pain in his arm and the loss of feeling in his legs. Because MB is sleeping rough, he really needs a warm winter coat and some essential food items. In addition, he must keep in regular contact with his Immigration Advisor, for which he will need £20 for a Tesco mobile SIM.

This lady, who has been referred to us by the local Housing Authority, is struggling as her housing benefit has been reduced, due to her being overpaid previously, and she also has rent arrears. Mum has four teenage children who are in desperate need of some new clothes. This request is for two of her children and there will be a separate request for the other two. A gift of £200 would be gratefully appreciated, especially as we approach the colder weather. Thank you.

This is a second request to cover the cost of new clothing for two of this lady's four children. She has fallen into rent arrears, due to her housing benefit being cut, as she was previously overpaid. A gift of £200 would provide warm clothing for them, especially needed now as the weather gets colder. Thank you for your consideration.

This young mum is in need of clothes and nappies for her three year old who has special needs. The family members are from Bulgaria and speak only a little English so are finding work is hard. Dad has found some work on a zero hours contract, but as the family does not yet have settled status, they are not entitled to any benefits. Being able to buy new clothes for their son would mean that he can be kept warm during the winter season, and nappies would keep him dry and comfortable. Please can you offer help to this family?
