£170 needed for a second-hand laptop
D, a refugee who has just received leave to remain, is desperate to be reunited with his wife and young children, hopefully, in the next year! He is studying very hard at the college to get his English qualifications and hopes to find a job soon. With all of this, D would really benefit from a laptop to help with studying and applying for jobs online. His previously donated tablet has unfortunately broken after much use. Thank you so much for helping D to get his own device.

S is an asylum seeker who is very engaged in our local English classes and support groups.

Thank you so much for helping S to get his own laptop in order to increase his ability to learn and improve his English.

£200 needed for a cooker
H receives Universal Credit, topping-up her part-time hours. She works in our community café, which she has done for over four years. In that time, H has been living in temporary accommodation with her son, for over five years. She has finally been given her forever home and is due to move in the next week. Mum is so excited and has been to see the house in anticipation. The kitchen, unfortunately, doesn't have a cooker so any donations towards one for her new home would be gratefully received.
£200 needed for a skip
This family of four have been through a lot, including family relationship tensions. The parents have additional needs and struggle with their mental health. They would love to have a skip so that they can continue to make the garden improvements they have started. A skip would give fresh motivation for the family to be able to dispose of garden waste and finish their projects. This would enable the family to have a lovely garden to enjoy, but they are struggling financially and cannot afford this expense. Thank you.
