Issues of UK poverty have been prevalent in the news recently. See my blog for how we are able to help people struggling with the additional cost of the so-called 'bedroom tax' and some reflections on how it must be for those facing it:
Here are a couple of relevant live request on the topic:
'H' is on low income. She is struggling to pay the bedroom tax and council tax. Her washing machine has broken and she cannot afford to repair or replace it. Any contribution would be gratefully received.
This man receives Job Seekers Allowance. He lives alone in local authority housing. He has to pay more towards his rent because of the "bedroom tax". Church can support him for up to 3 months if he receives a grant by providing a household pack. He would then have a little more money to be able to pay the extra costs.
And one of several for food, in an area where there isn't a local Foodbank at this time to help:
Claudia has been a victim of domestic abuse perpetrated by her ex-partner. She has fled from North London and initially stayed with friends in South London. They are no longer able to help her. She was offered accommodation through YMCA today, but until her benefits application come through she has no food and no money to support herself. She is unable to return to her family in Portugal as well, as she has no means to travel there. Claudia was referred by the local domestic violence unit.
It is good to know that so many charities are out there trying to help those in need and campaigning on their behalf.
