£200 needed for 10 counselling sessions
P would benefit from further counselling to manage the complex family situation and the emotional impact of his mother’s ongoing acute myeloid leukaemia diagnosis and transplant needs. Travelling to visit his mother is expensive as she lives a few hundred miles away. Previous counselling has been very helpful but due to expensive travel costs to visit his mum he can't afford the much-needed counselling as well. £200 would fund 10 more sessions to help him work through everything.
£200 needed for a 2nd hand bike, good bike lock, bike helmet
M is on a very low income and spending a lot on public transport. M wants to travel around his city to get to know opportunities in the area, to reach appointments and training courses, job interviews and for social support. M is isolated after moving to the UK and a bike would allow him more freedom and independence to connect with activities and get to know people. M is keen to start work and a bike will allow him greater access to jobs that are at times when public transport stops.
£200 needed for a laptop for studying
S is trying to improve his English so that he can apply for jobs and get work in the UK. He struggles to access online English courses and websites on his phone. S would like a laptop so that he can complete written documents, join interactive English learning sessions, apply for jobs and watch educational videos. This would allow S to progress faster with his learning and give him greater independence in managing his personal admin and opportunities in the future.
£125 needed for a mobile phone
This gentleman has recently become debt free through CAP. He continues to live on a very tight budget due to his learning difficulties and financial vulnerability. He lives alone, and access to a phone is essential for him to stay connected and supported. He requires a Samsung handset, as he is familiar with this type of phone as he used one for many years. His current phone broke, and his Mencap support worker has helped him identify a suitable replacement that he is comfortable using.
£130 needed for a laptop
We are supporting a friend in Newcastle upon Tyne who has recently arrived from the turmoil in Afghanistan seeking sanctuary in the UK. He is very keen to learn English and is enrolled for classes in a local college. He would find a laptop an immense help, not least as he can continue to study outside of class. He is keen to integrate into society in his new country and a good command of English will help with this very considerably. Might you be able to help us to help him?
£200 needed for a bed and drawers
M has ongoing health issues and is struggling with depression. He and his teenage daughter have just moved from an unsuitable furnished rental property into social housing. This provides an opportunity for a fresh start. He needs a bed and drawers for his daughter who is currently doing exams. They would appreciate any help you can give them.
£200 needed for a new fridge freezer
D is a single gentleman in his 50s who came to us for money and debt advice. D has a history of mental health illness and is socially very isolated. He works a few hours a week, but is on a very low income, is vulnerable and lacks financial resilience. D relies on frozen food to keep costs down, but his fridge freezer is now broken. Buying a new one would remind him that someone cares; it would improve his basic living standards and support his overall well-being and stability.
£180 needed for SEN provision in summer holidays
This family has 2 boys with additional needs. Both go to specialist provision during term time but during holidays Mum really struggles to meet their needs, as well as caring for other family members in their multi-generational house. It would benefit them to be able to access a local SEN provision during the holidays but cost is a barrier. Right now the parents can only work for limited hours. We would love to support them to access the sessions and prevent the family reaching crisis during the summer holidays.
£200 needed for a sofa bed
A caring mum is doing everything she can to support her teenage daughter who has Autism Spectrum Disorder and sensory difficulties. At the moment, her daughter struggles to sleep in a normal bed and often chooses to sleep on the floor. This is affecting her sleep and having a negative impact on both her mental health and her mum’s well-being. A sofa bed would provide a more comfortable and suitable option for her sensory needs and help her get a better night’s sleep.
