This elderly, diabetic asylum seeker has been in the UK for thirteen years. Originally caring for her sister's children, she has suffered mistreatment. In a Local Authority hotel after rough sleeping, she lacks funds, cooking or washing facilities, and also needs diabetic appropriate food for the next few weeks, clothing and toiletries. Pending a schedule 10 application for asylum support and permanent housing, this lady (at the age of seventy seven) remains extremely vulnerable. Funds would restore some dignity and stability, pending her Home Office decision.

N loves to try and keep active and wants to learn to swim. She has been in the UK for 16 years and has been destitute, therefore unable to afford a gym membership. She has now moved to a hosting placement in South London and is now close to a leisure centre. With your support she could sign up to the leisure centre for 3 months which would allow her to keep herself active whilst she waits for her asylum claim to be resolved. Doing exercise really helps with her mental health.

This young person was refused asylum, but the Home Office sent a decision to the wrong address and whilst we are supporting him to appeal, he is now homeless and struggling financially as he lost the support he was receiving from the Home Office. This young person needs support to buy a monthly bus travel pass so he can travel to us to resolve his legal issues and to receive mental health support, and a £50 food voucher to allow him to survive until his appeal is hopefully reinstated.
