£150 remaining for a bedroom carpet/rugs
This lady lives on her own, as both her children have grown up and left home. She works as a carer on part-time hours, and was successful in applying for a local housing association flat last year. Due to her low income, this lady has been unable to afford any carpets and has either lino or bare floorboards throughout. £200 will enable her to purchase carpets or rugs for her bedroom.
