£200 needed for driving lessons
T and her husband are from Pakistan. She has been her 3 years but has become very lonely and isolated due to a lack of language and opportunity. She has been coming to our support cafes to make friends and gain confidence. She would like to learn to drive to give her more employment opportunities. This will pay for 4 lessons. She is learning English and volunteering a few different places.
£200 needed for a new landing carpet
Our client has a small property and two very young children. They have not been able to afford carpet for their stairs or landing which has led to slips and also heightened heating bills. Can you help?
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
R is recovering from addiction and has been housed into a flat which will be his first own home. He has no white goods at all, it is in a new area and R has no family or friends to be able to help. The item that he requires the most urgently is a fridge freezer so that he doesn't have to throw food away.
£175 needed for a freezer
B is a mature single lady living alone in a one bedroom flat. She is not very mobile and struggles to get out for shopping. B also has some ongoing debts and is struggling financially. B would very much like to be able to purchase a freezer as she feels that it would benefit her ability to manage food costs and reduce the number of trips she needs to make for shopping.
£150 needed for clothes and footwear
Client A wishes to make a good impression and believes this is one way they can- they suffer poor mental health, housing issue and has not not seen their child for over 1 year, all of which is having an impact on them, having appropriate clothes, shoes will ease the anxiety and help prepare them to face family court. A has Universal Credit only, has applied for help with Court Fees (awaiting a decision), and no legal aid. There are no immediate family or friends that he can turn to for support.
£200 needed for carpeting fitting
H has recently moved into her first home with her 4 month old baby. She spent all her savings on appliances and furniture. She is currently on maternity leave (her employer doesn’t pay maternity pay and therefore her only income is from Universal Credit). The new property is without carpets and H desperately wants to make it a proper home for her and her daughter. We’re able to provide carpets free of charge if a kind donor will help with the fitting costs.
£200 needed for a tumble dryer
This lady has become known to us through Christians Against Poverty. She has a terminal diagnosis and is bed ridden for most of the time. Her older children have moved back home to look after her and her daughter is her carer. She is in receipt of benefits. Due to her illness, she is incontinent (as is her her youngest son), so there is a lot of washing to do every day. It is impossible to dry everything outside so a condenser tumble dryer is very much needed and would be very gratefully received.
£200 needed for bedroom storage
L is a single mum who has recently been able to move to more permanent housing after staying in a hostel for a while. Her and her son are in need of a wardrobe and chest of drawers. She does work and also receives Universal Credit but has not been able to put money away to be able to buy these items. An Argos voucher to purchase these items would help them settle in and be more organised in their new home. Thank you.
£200 needed for a cooker
J is a single man with a number of health conditions, including mental health concerns and problems with walking. He is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments which just covers the essentials. His cooker was purchased second hand 12 years ago, and is not very safe at the moment, but he is unable to purchase a new one. A new cooker would help him consider his meals more which will help with all aspects of his health. Are you able to help?
