£190 remaining for a cooker
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.
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?

M is a single parent to a teenager, who is starting university. M has been without a fridge freezer over summer and due to the change of circumstances her Universal Credit will decrease. After the deduction of rent and rent arears, M will be left with just enough to cover her bills. We have supported her with emergency fuel vouchers and food parcels, however without a fridge freezer the foodbank was unable to supply her with any fresh or frozen foods.
