£0 remaining for flooring
Our Foodbank client, her partner and four kids have finally moved into a bigger property after being overcrowded for years. Both adults are out of work, due to mental health issues, and having to do most of the decoration refurbishment themselves. They have been quoted £2600 by a carpet company to install in all rooms and hallway, but they can afford this so will buy floor and install it themselves for £700. This is the second request which will cover the bedrooms and bathroom.
Our client is a child who has recently arrived from Afghanistan to reunite with the rest of his family here in the UK. Their family is solely living off of the eldest brother's benefits and is currently struggling greatly with living expenses. They need help with essentials such as food and winter clothes (jackets, jumpers and shoes) which can be costly. Additionally, we will use a portion of these funds to top up their oyster card and provide them with vouchers to spend on other necessities.
