A, a single man who is living in shared accommodation, has a number of health conditions, including myelofibrosis; gout; anxiety and depression. He works ten hours a week, but his health means he is unable to work more hours. A receives Universal Credit and Housing Benefit, but his income does not cover his outgoings and he is reliant upon community larders. A's bed is very old and is not supportive of his health conditions, but he is unable to afford a new one.

A, who has two children, aged twelve and fourteen, is caring for her mum who is recovering from ovarian cancer. The eldest has a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and is having daily nosebleeds, and the youngest has speech dyspraxia and autism. A became homeless last year and was placed in a house with mould. It is taking four days to dry clothes, due to not being able to put the heating on for health. A is in receipt of Universal Credit, Carers Allowance and Disability Living Allowance (for the children). We are requesting support for a tumble dryer for this family.

V is a single man who is unable to work as he is living with a number of health conditions, including functional neurological disorder (FND), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and degenerative arthritis in his spine. V, who is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, has recently suffered from a breakdown in his mental health. The door of his washing machine has recently broken and he is unable to afford a new one. We are requesting support for a replacement machine.

This lovely family have, through no fault of their own, found themselves in financial hardship and need support to pay towards energy bills. They have recently been granted refugee status and are grappling with a system they cannot navigate. Please would you consider donating to this family? Any support is greatly appreciated and needed. Thank you.
