Current needs
R is rough sleeping on a boat without amenities, which he considers his home, and is searching for a legal mooring for his vehicle. However, as he does not have any amenities for heating or cooking, such as a generator, the benefits of a wood-burning stove mean that he can use it as a source of heating, to dry his clothes and to cook on. It also does not cause condensation and will help dry out the room. It would meet multiple needs and would really help R out during the winter.
Still £65 left to donate
Total needed £65D, who has been living in supported accommodation, due to a relationship breakdown, has maintained regular contact with his children, which has always been one of his main priorities. He is now integrating back into life, and is helping other people who have faced similar issues and struggles in life. The new clothes would help with future job interviews and training opportunities, and would help promote a more positive sense of self, which is a very important and necessary part of moving forward in life.
