Mum is a single parent of three children under five years old. The family has moved to a new property where there is no cooker and she has limited finances. Mum suffers with poor mental health and has recently been physically unwell. The family is isolated and mum is struggling to manage the meal times with no cooker. There is a separate Acts 435 request to cover the cost of the gas cooker. This request is for the installation and delivery costs. Please could you help? Thank you.

This single mum, who is caring for her two children, has been through a really difficult time recently. She has really poor mental health which means that every day tasks are too much. Mum has asked for a tumble dryer to help keep on top of the washing for her and her children. Due to the children being young, and with limited space, mum was really worried about the children touching the heated airer, and was really keen for a tumble dryer. Please could you help this family? Thank you so much.

This student, who attends our food pantry, shared that she does not have an oven or hob to cook with. She is currently living in a small place with a kitchen that is too small for a normal size oven. Due to being an Open University student, the benefits she receives are very low. We have helped top-up the gas and electricity. We have enquired about family help and have discovered that there is no immediate extended family to help. Please can you help this student to get a mini oven?
