£105 needed for a four month gym membership
B has recently been granted refugee status and is figuring out her next steps, looking for work and attending college.

£200 needed for carpet fitting
A is in very poor health and registered disabled. He has COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and is unable to walk very far or manage stairs. Because of this, he is being rehoused into a bungalow, but the property isn't carpeted. A's only income is from benefits and he has no savings. An uncarpeted property will aggravate his COPD, especially in winter when it's cold and damp. We are able to supply carpets to A for free, but we need kind and generous donors to help us with the cost of fitting.

This forty two year old lady, a part-time working mum of four children has exchanged her property for a more affordable place, but is presently struggling with high bills and a benefit cap. Her issue is that she doesn’t want to move the children from their schools for the last few weeks of term, especially as her daughter will leave primary for upper school in September. If we can provide £130 for petrol costs for a month (300 miles per week) to travel from the new property to the school for these last weeks, it would really help.

The fee for a bankruptcy is £680. He has managed to raise most of the funds but is short by £180. Please can you help?
