T is sixty and has two teenage children. His mother recently passed away and the family are devastated and are are drowning in grief. T is unable to work as he has several disabilities and has to rely on benefits. Over Christmas, the house had an electrical surge and the washing machine blew up. T has a friend who is an electrician and he tried to repair the washing machine, but unfortunately it is unrepairable. He has no money left, once his bills are paid, to replace the washing machine. Thank you!

S. is an asylum seeker who attends our English classes here in Lancaster. It is really difficult for him to do his homework and access information or additional learning opportunities online without his own laptop. Thank you so much for helping us to get S his own laptop!

J, a single mum of four children under the age of twelve, is self-employed and on no recourse to public funds. She is a mobile hairdresser and her income has been quite low lately, which means that after paying her bills and food, she can barely afford anything. J's sofa is broken and her landlord cannot replace it. She needs support to purchase a new sofa, as the kids now sit on a wooden floor which is cold. This is making mum so worried as the weather is cold. J has also requested support with storage cabinets.
