£0 remaining for a bike, lock and helmet
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.
G has been in our supported accommodation for five years this month, but has finally been awarded a flat through a housing association. He has a disability and is signed off long-term sick and is on benefits. G doesn't have much money put aside to buy all he needs for his new flat, so would appreciate donations for a bed and wardrobe for the property. He has found a charity shop where he is hoping to buy them from if he receives the donation.
Our family of two parents and three children are moving out of their privately rented property due to dampness, to another more suitable property. Although both parents work hard in the Health Care Service, their income level is still low in relation to their out-goings. They have no recourse to any benefits or entitlement to social housing. The St. Vincent de Paul Society is supporting the family in several aspects, including the move. Could you help by contributing towards removal costs?
F has managed to exit sex work. She has found faith in God which was planted at an early age in foster care. Having lived in two city hostels where she engaged with services and a counsellor, she has now secured a council flat. Life has not been easy for her, but she is doing really well and is cleans from drugs. She just needs a few bits for her flat and a fridge/freezer would make life so much better. F is on Universal Credit and can't work at the present time due to a health condition.
