W was made homeless due to the breakdown of a relationship over a year ago, and since then he has been living in a graveyard. He has just got his first ever real home, but he has absolutely nothing except a sleeping bag and clothes donated by church. He has been given a bed which he’s absolutely delighted with, church is helping with a kettle, toaster and microwave and neighbours have given him some bits of furniture. He is still waiting on his benefits to be sorted. The floors are concrete and cold, and he would be so grateful for your help to put some carpet down.

N loves to try and keep active and wants to learn to swim. She has been in the UK for 16 years and has been destitute, therefore unable to afford a gym membership. She has now moved to a hosting placement in South London and is now close to a leisure centre. With your support she could sign up to the leisure centre for 3 months which would allow her to keep herself active whilst she waits for her asylum claim to be resolved. Doing exercise really helps with her mental health.

N, a young woman who has completed rehabilitation and is making great progress, is settling in really well to volunteering at Glasgow City Mission. She now has her new flat, but before she can fully move in, needs flooring for it, especially for her hallway, bathroom and lounge, not least because the flooring is not in great shape. N would be really grateful if she could get help with this, so that she can fully move in and continue to create a stable home that will continue to help her thrive.

J, who has been a guest with us for a little while, was recently remanded in custody for a short while for historic charges, in order for the court to be able to obtain a pre-sentence report. Whilst in custody, his bike, some clothes and other items were stolen from his property. J is an enthusiastic part of our community and has really embraced the Love of Jesus, the support on offer, and really enjoys volunteering at The Message Trust. However, he feels deflated that his belongings have been stolen. A replacement bike would help him to get to appointments.

C has been living in temporary accommodation, but has just been offered a permanent flat of her own, however, it is unfurnished and she has no furniture or white goods of her own. C receives some benefits, but they only just cover her basic living costs and don't leave her much to save towards all the items she needs. She has been sourcing as much as she can from friends or Freecycle. C's most urgent need is for a bed so that she has somewhere to sleep.

S is proactive and continues to meet with our counsellor to improve her language skills, building her confidence step by step.

N lost his truck driver licence eighteen months ago and now needs to renew it so that he can get back to work.

He is wanting to apply for a passport so that he can get accommodation and can travel to see his family, as he has not seen them for many years.

P suffers with mental health problems and is unfit for work. After spending time in supported accommodation, the family has now moved into its own property. Mum is having to sleep on the settee and the children are mostly staying with nearby relatives as they have no mattresses for their beds.

Our client, M, who was evicted under Section 21, a no-fault eviction, has been moved by the council into a property that has no carpets. M. who is disabled, also suffers from arthritis and the cold is making her condition more painful. A carpet would make her home warmer and more comfortable.

The council has rehomed them, but they have to start from scratch, including replacing their clothes, due to the damp and mildew. There are no white goods in the accommodation and there is no money to reach all that needs to be covered. A cooker and a washing machine has already been sourced, but K is still in need of a fridge freezer.
