£200 needed for Supply and fit a living room carpet
S has fled domestic violence and been rehoused, but has no money to buy a carpet for the living room which has bare floorboards. This is the room the children use most, due to the bedrooms needing carpeting. Mum has mats down at the moment, but they are only thin so not much use when the kids want to sit and do some colouring. S is waiting for her benefits to be arranged and her family cannot help as they live too far away. Please can you help?
£150 needed for a combo trampoline
J is a single mum with one child who is autistic with lower limb dyspraxia syndrome. Mum has been advised to buy a special trampoline that has a swing in it to help her son use his muscles better. However, mum just cannot afford to buy this, as she is on benefits and is stretched to the limit paying bills. J has to keep the heating on, as her son has a low immune system and gets poorly very quickly. Any spare money will go towards the heating. Please can you help?

This Afghan refugee family, including the parents and four children, has just received refugee status and moved into an unfurnished council house.

Unfortunately, their income is insufficient to afford these necessities.
£200 needed for a sofa bed
S, who has been recently widowed, has five children to support. She works part-time, but has been struggling financially to manage alone, due to the cost of living and bills increasing. She receives no benefits for two of the children and is being supported by Children's Services and Citizens Advice Bureau for budgeting. S's sofa bed has recently broken, meaning that she has to sleep on the floor, to allow her children to sleep in the beds, and has no bed for herself. She would be so grateful for any donations towards this.
