Haringey Migrant Support Centre

L is a single parent living with her two year old daughter in one room, and sharing a bathroom and kitchen with seven others. As a migrant, she is not allowed to claim benefits and is struggling to manage. They urgently need to find better accommodation as there is mould, and recently a fallen ceiling in the house. The Migrant Centre is helping mum find somewhere where they can settle and feel safe. L would be very grateful for help to buy a buggy, clothes for her daughter and saucepans.

P is a fifty six year old homeless man who is moving from shelter to shelter when unable to sleep on people's sofas. He has had a very unsettled life since separating from his wife twelve years ago. His mental health is poor, leading to a recent suicide attempt. P has been exploited by people who have taken him in, and is vulnerable to abuse. He has only the clothes he is wearing and would love to have something clean, and shoes without holes. As he is moving all the time, a suitcase would also be helpful.

G is sixty four and lives on her own in temporary accommodation where she has a room and a shared kitchen. She broke her leg a year ago and has difficulty walking, causing pain when she puts weight on the leg. G has high blood pressure and wants to eat as healthily as possible, but it is difficult in the facilities she has. The Migrant Centre is trying to help her get into sheltered accommodation. G would like to use an air fryer, and buy shoes that support her mobility, and would love help to do this.
