P, a single mum from India with two teenage children, has recently had to move into a new home and has no furniture. The entire family is currently sleeping on the floor and, as the weather turns colder, this will be increasingly uncomfortable. This lovely lady has worked very hard to further her education and find work, but the cost of moving has left her without the resources to furnish her children's room. P would be very grateful for any help received to make her children more comfortable

This family of five, with three primary school age children, is in great need of a freezer to help provide healthy meals for the growing family. Mum is struggling to cope in these difficult times, and a freezer would help greatly so she can buy affordable healthy food. Their oldest child has severe learning difficulties and dad is a student from abroad. We are giving ongoing support to the family as they settle in the area and plan to stay long-term. They much appreciate any support given. Thank you.

Safe Families are supporting a family of four who are in need of a new tumble dryer. Due to their twelve year old son's complex needs, the parents are having to prioritise replacing items in the home that he has unfortunately damaged. This means they cannot afford to replace the broken tumble dryer. As the weather is getting colder, it is not always possible to line dry the washing, so currently their neighbours are helping to dry clothes in their dryers, but this is not a sustainable option.

B, who has been out of jail for three months and is sofa surfing, is working on her relationship with her children and is walking two hours each way to see them on a Saturday and Sunday. She would love to have a bike, and Acts 435 did provide a bike for this applicant a few years ago, but all her belongings were lost when she went to prison. A bike would make it much easier to see the children, and there is a local bike hub who could provide one for £100.

A has been in recovery from alcohol dependency for twelve months and is doing really well rebuilding his life. He tells me that he had to leave the recovery home a month early, as his wife moved on to another man and left two teenage boys to fend for themselves. The home they are living is in desperate need of decorating, so it would be lovely if we could help him with funds to decorate a room, as he is trying so hard to make a home for the three of them to live in.
