P has been rough sleeping for the last ten years, but has recently moved into supported accommodation. He is on very low Universal Credit, due to never having claimed any benefits before. He would love to see his parents this Christmas, as he has not seen them this year, but saving for the trip to Northamptonshire, by train, is a challenge, as he is struggling financially. P is a very polite gentleman and he believes that now he is being supported, he can really see a future for himself.

N and her three children were homeless for over seven months and living in a hotel. Mum could not afford to store her furniture so when she was rehoused she had to buy second-hand furniture. Mum is sleeping on a broken bed and this is not helping her sleep. She suffers with her mental health and her youngest child is autistic. N feels she would cope better if she had somewhere she could retreat to at the end of the day, where she would feel comfortable and relaxed. Thank you for any help.

We would love you to join us in supporting a lady who has turned her life around by going sober and working her way out of debt. She is learning to drive so her and her son can be more independent. Thanks to backpay from her benefits, this lady has been able to pay for most of her lessons, but does not quite have enough for the test fees and two more lessons. She would be so grateful for your support to get her through this final stage of learning to drive.

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 gentleman has found a permanent home in his native village which will allow him to reconnect with his family after a long period of homelessness. He has been supported with his initial rent, white goods and a bed, but he needs bedding, towels, kitchen utensils, saucepans, crockery, cutlery, and a small radio please. He would be so grateful of your help to get these items so he can be properly settled in his new flat.

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?
