£200 needed for a double bed frame
P was just about managing in Housing Association accommodation when Covid hit. With only his pension and pension credit, he got into rent arrears and was eventually evicted. Having been in temporary accommodation since then has been difficult, but he has now secured permanent accommodation. However, it is completely unfurnished and he must start again. A bed frame would prevent P from having to sleep on the floor, and help him regain some self-esteem and confidence so that he can get back on his feet.
£200 needed for a wardrobe and storage furniture
L is a disabled man who has just been moved to temporary council accommodation. He was told that he would be given support from the council to move, however, this never materialised and he had to spend all his monthly income on moving. L cannot afford a wardrobe or any storage. He is currently living among bags of clothes and cannot start to sort out his accommodation. L is on a very low income and is unable to work, due to his disability. He needs support to sort out his temporary accommodation.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
E, a single mum with a four year old son, is in the process of being diagnosed with Autism. She looks after her son full-time and, due to his high level of need, is unable to work. The family are in need of a new fridge freezer, as their current one is old and no longer works properly. Mum relies on benefits and doesn't have any spare money to buy a replacement. E would love some help to be able to purchase this much needed kitchen appliance.
£75 needed for a duvet and sheets
Mum has recently had her benefits reduced as one of her children has moved out of the home to be with dad. She had unexpected bills recently for her car and a broken bed, which she managed to pay. Mum also needs new bedding, but it will be a while before she will be able to buy this. Please could you help us provide this for the family? We hope to provide a duvet and all the bed sheets required.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
J is a single mum with multiple health problems including Hodgkinson's lymphoma, a bicuspid heart and heart failure. Mum cannot work, due to her health, so her income is low and she has no savings. J needs carpets in her lounge, hall, stairs, landing and two bedroom and feels her health is being affected because of the lack of suitable flooring. We have access to free carpets, but please can you help us with the fitting charges to make J's house into a warm, comfortable home?
£200 needed for carpet fitting
J, a care leaver who has just moved into his first home, has had to set up from scratch with very little. He has received support for household items and white goods, but has no carpets down anywhere in his flat. A charity are able to provide free flooring coverings if the kind people of Acts 435 can help with the fitting costs. Thank you.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
P was just about managing in Housing Association accommodation when Covid hit. With only his pension and pension credit, he got into rent arrears and was eventually evicted. Having been in temporary accommodation since then has been difficult, but he has now secured permanent accommodation. However, it is completely unfurnished and P must start again. A fridge freezer would enable him to eat more healthily and manage his limited funds more effectively so that he can get back on his feet.
£150 needed for a dining table and chairs
We are working with the parents of two young children who are trying to establish some good boundaries and routines. One of these is to have meals around a dining table, but they don't have a table to sit at. We would love to provide a dining table and chairs for this family and allow them to encourage and enjoy appropriate meal times together. They are struggling financially and aren't able to buy this for themselves.
£200 needed for a large fridge freezer
L is a young man who has been struggling with ill health. He has lost a lot of weight and is currently undergoing various tests to try and find the cause. Due to his ill health, this young man is unable to work and now has a Support Worker who is hopefully going to help him budget. L's current fridge freezer is very small and unreliable and, on the advice of his GP, he must eat more. Please would you consider helping this young man to obtain a larger appliance so that he can store food he needs to help his health? Thank you.
