Who we have helped in the last few months

Purchase of a specialised push chair for SEN child to get to school, which is over a mile from home and a specialised SEN buggy which will allow another child with ASD/ADHD be taken out in the community.

Provided a Laptop to be shared by a 6 and 7-year-old, living under special guardianship with great grandparents, to do homework and for a young person living on their own with ASD and anxiety to start one-to-one online courses.

Contribution for a deep clean for a man suffering serious deterioration of his physical and mental health, due to the recent loss of his late partner. Excessive dirt and debris had built up, which he was unable to sort out or clean. Another deep clean for a 43-year-old woman who has learning disability, spastic Paraplegia, weakness of the leg, tremor and deafness. She is a full-time electric wheelchair user, using her hands to navigate and requires two people to support with transfers using a hoist. Another contribution for a man diagnosed with ADHD, DAMP, and dyslexia. He is currently experiencing significant challenges with self-care and maintaining his home environment, which has deteriorated to an unsafe and unhygienic condition, with an infestation of fruit flies and a strong odour in the property.

Purchased items for people moving into a new home, often because of abuse. These have included beds, mattresses, washing machines, carpets, essential household items and basic furnishings.
