F has a family of three children, aged fourteen, nine and six years old, and a husband with a serious health condition which means he can no longer work. The family has recently been moved into the local area and F has visited our community hub to seek support with setting up their new home. We've managed to get them a second-hand washing machine, sofas and cooking equipment, but mum would really like a microwave oven to help with the family meals. Any donations towards this would be gratefully appreciated.

This family, a single mum and her four children have been experiencing difficulties. Mum needed help with family routines/managing the home. Her own family have helped her organise the home and found beds for the children. We have been asked by the school pastoral worker to help with bedding inc. pillows, duvets, mattress protectors and sheets for three single beds and a cot bed. As a church we are putting £100 to the need and would be grateful for donation of £150 towards the remaining costs.

W, who has been engaging with our community centre and activities for about a month, has recently been given a one bedroom flat after living within hostels for years. He had absolutely nothing to furnish it with and is only on £279.00 a month of Universal Credit. We have given W a single mattress, and the beautiful souls at our centre have donated kitchen utensils, a microwave and a small sofa. He desperately needs an electric cooker, so it would be a joy if any donations towards one are given by Acts 435.
