£200 needed for a double bed frame
I had a chat with this client yesterday and she told me she has some health issues which are being impacted by not having a bed. In fact, she has not had a bed to sleep on for fourteen years, just an old mattress at times. Our client has recently been moved into new accommodation, due to domestic violence, and would love to start afresh with somewhere comfortable to sleep to improve her wellbeing. She is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, so cannot afford a replacement. Thank you for considering this request.
