£140 remaining for a dining table and chairs, a lamp and a saucepan
A has recently been housed in a studio apartment, due to domestic violence, and had to leave all her belongings behind. The property she moved into is unfurnished apart from one bed. This money would be used to purchase a dining table and chairs, a lamp and a saucepan, including the delivery cost. We have supported A with some other items, but she needs a table to eat at.
This woman I support is fleeing a domestic abuse situation and is in need of support whilst she awaits a decision on her asylum claim. She currently has no recourse to public funds and only receives a very small weekly allowance from a charity. This woman requires a shopping voucher to buy food, winter clothing and shoes suitable for the cold weather in the UK, which she will not otherwise be able to obtain.
A is a single dad with two girls aged nine and thirteen who have been living with him since earlier this year. He has worked hard to stabilise their lives and finances. Dad drives a bus one day a week in addition to looking after the girls, but still struggles to make ends meet. His washing machine needs to be replaced, but he cannot afford to do this himself.
MK, an entrenched rough sleeper, has been homeless for around two decades and is living in hostel accommodation. He would appreciate a voucher for some shoes and winter clothes, a top-up voucher for his phone, a haircut (as his beard has grown long since he has been homeless) and a beard trimmer to maintain his beard after the haircut.
