Typically things like white goods (fridges, freezers, cookers, washing machines), furnture, carpets, flooring, small home repairs, help with fuel bills and some some other unexpected bills, essential living costs (food, clothes), digital connections (mobile phones, smart tvs, internet connections, laptops).
