£0 remaining for a washing machine
I was contacted as a governor of the children's school, due to J's house being almost empty of food for her children, aged ten, eight and six years old. Her husband has left for good, making the situation more difficult financially. I rushed food parcels to the family and found her in a very distressed state. J's washing machine has now broken beyond repair and, having a busy life with three high maintenance kids, she has become totally reliant on her washing machine and would be very grateful for a replacement.

L is a young man who has been homeless in a neighbouring town, but has recently been moved into our supported accommodation. He could do with a bike to get to different appointments and help him to more easily find employment, as he is currently on Universal Credit. L doesn't have a helmet or bike lock, but has already been offered a bike by someone who is keeping it by for him until he has the money to pay.
This gentleman has recently moved into Brighton from out of area and had to leave everything behind in order to move. He is in a hostel at the moment and only receives basic Universal Credit with sanctions. This gentleman is working with support and would really appreciate a voucher to enable him to get some basic clothes and shoes.
