£175 needed for a double bed frame
S. is currently sleeping on her sofa as she cannot afford a bed. All available income is directed towards preventing eviction and to essential bills. This has left her unable to purchase basic furniture for herself. Sleeping on the sofa is having a negative impact on her sleep and overall wellbeing, adding to the stress she is already experiencing from her financial difficulties. A grant for a bed would provide her with a safe and comfortable place to sleep and improving her health.
