£100 remaining for two school uniforms
M is a single dad on a low income who is struggling with debt and just cannot find the money anywhere to get school uniforms for the two older children. He managed to get a few tops and pairs of trousers from a charity shop, but they don’t really fit and dad is worried that the children may be getting bullied. The children have grown out of their current uniforms, which are worn out, and they also need warmer coats. Family cannot help, as they are struggling as well, and the food bank is helping with food.
Our client, I, is twenty eight years old and a mum to two children. She works part-time around the school hours, as she feels It's important to teach the children a good work ethic, plus working gives her a sense of independence. Universal Credit pays her rent and tops-up her wages, but this still leaves little left for household items. Mum has no wardrobes for the children and really struggles for storage, causing chaos in the bedroom. She has asked for support with a wardrobe and small chest of drawers. Please can you help?
This single mum is living at home with her little girl and is trying to rebuild her life after struggling with substance misuse. She has been engaging so well with support, and is trying to get on top of the home conditions. Mum is struggling financially and is really behind with her washing so is feeling overwhelmed. She would love a tumble dryer, as the flat that she is in is very unhygienic and damp. This would mean she can quickly and safely dry the clothes, keeping them from smelling damp. Thank you for your support.
Safe Families are supporting a twenty three year old auntie who has taken responsibility for her four nieces. She has been offered a new property, but doesn't have any white goods. This lady is struggling financially and would like a tumble dryer due to the high amount of washing her four nieces accumulate over the week; especially their school uniform that often needs washing and drying more than once a week. They do not have adequate drying space or an outside area. Please could you help? Thank you.
