£0 remaining for a washing machine
R, who left supported accommodation in September 2024, has worked hard to make a home for himself in his new flat. He has managed to get a cooker, but has been without a washing machine for a long time and is currently having to ask his neighbour to help him. R would love to get his own washing machine. He is working hard at his recovery from addiction and has been engaging with our support groups over the last year. Being able to get the washing machine would be a huge boost for him.
T is a hard-working young man who has spent the past few weeks working on his new council flat, which was not in the best condition. We have assisted him in sourcing some basic furniture and homeware, however, he has no carpets or flooring in his flat and would like to be able to start with carpeting his living room and bedroom before winter. T has just been accepted on to a college course to improve his English and hopes to study IT in the future.
Y has complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and has been suffering for twenty years with the symptoms. They received a diagnosis around seven years ago and, unfortunately, medication hasn't helped. They know therapy would be very helpful for them, have been on a waiting list and have finally accessed a service who are able to supply them with specialised therapy at a reduced rate. Y is going to be paying half of this weekly rate and the remainder with this donation. This amount will provide counselling for forty weeks.
R, who has been engaging with us for the past two years, has completed his coffee training and certification and now has a part-time job in a church café. He was living in a homeless hostel for over two years and has recently been able to move into a flat. R is starting to look at other jobs, and a passport for ID would be really helpful. Although he is working part time, he does not have income to support this, on top of sorting his flat and day-to-day expenses.
