Break-Through provides small household items to anyone in financial hardship, particularly those from a homelessness background. Access to the free service is through referrals from agencies. People may have as many items as are needed, and if they are able to make a small donation (£1 for each delivery) to help cover fuel costs, it would be appreciated.
