£0 remaining for an electric cooker
C has five children and receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments, due to a brain condition that can affect her mobility, along with other debilitating symptoms. The local council has refitted her kitchen, but have removed her gas cooker which they deemed unsafe. This has left C with no means of cooking meals for her family. She would like to replace it with an electric cooker, but money is very tight and she cannot afford to pay for it herself. Your help would be much appreciated.
S, who has very little benefit income and is living off £160 per month, due to current sanctions, struggles with psychosis and severe anxiety. He has been managing with a kettle and microwave for the last five years, but he has been advised to try to eat a healthier diet to improve his mental health. However, this is impossible with only a microwave, and he also can't afford microwave meals. If we could get S a cooker, it would start to improve his quality of life significantly. Please could you help?
W is a single mum to a young daughter. Her daughter's bed is in a very poor condition and not fit for sleeping on, but W has a limited income and can't afford to replace it. Your help to replace her daughter's bed would make a huge difference to the family.
K, who has been living in temporary accommodation, has just been offered a housing association flat of her own, but it is unfurnished and she has no furniture of her own. K has a low income and can't afford to purchase much herself. A cooker would really help her as she moves into her now home, meaning she can cook and eat healthily and affordably, helping her to save towards other items she needs.
