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.

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.

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?

This young man, who has recently entered temporary housing after sleeping rough and sofa surfing for over two years, only possesses one set of clothing which is unsuitable for the current colder weather. He desperately needs underwear, socks, t-shirt, jumper, trousers, winter coat and footwear so he can get out and about. Being on benefits means this young man can't readily afford these, so help funding these will be gratefully received.

This lady is in crisis accommodation with a homeless service and has arrived with insufficient clothing and only one pair of sandals for footwear. She needs t-shirts, trousers, undergarments, pullover or fleece, plus a coat and proper shoes. These would enable her to be warm and healthy through the winter months. Can you help her please?

He is not able to work, due to his mental health concerns. I is destitute and needs £100 for a food voucher. He also needs some money to buy some winter clothes. £100 will be spent on a voucher for a clothes shop to buy a winter coat, shoes, trousers and a jumper.

M is a single dad on a low income who is struggling with debt and just cannot find the money anywhere to get school uniforms for the two older children. He managed to get a few tops and pairs of trousers from a charity shop, but they don’t really fit and dad is worried that the children may be getting bullied. The children have grown out of their current uniforms, which are worn out, and they also need warmer coats. Family cannot help, as they are struggling as well, and the food bank is helping with food.

This family of refugees from Afghanistan, who came to the UK in the summer, do not have any recourse to public funds and are really struggling.

MK, an entrenched rough sleeper, has been homeless for around two decades and is living in hostel accommodation. He would appreciate a voucher for some shoes and winter clothes, a top-up voucher for his phone, a haircut (as his beard has grown long since he has been homeless) and a beard trimmer to maintain his beard after the haircut.

This woman I support is fleeing a domestic abuse situation and is in need of support whilst she awaits a decision on her asylum claim.
