Hello.

I've been given a north Devon homes bungalow, I have been in temporary accommodation for over 3 years.

Sadly I need to buy a cooker and carpets that need putting in.

Currently on universal credit and pip.

Is there anywhere I can get some help towards these things?.

Thanks

    Try speaking to your local Authority. The household Support Fund has been extended and they should have been given extra funding from the Government.

    Welcome to the community and congrats on the new home @19ST67DG 😁

    I would be contacting your local authority, as other members have already mentioned, to get help with flooring and a cooker. They should also be able to point you in the direction of any local organisations who might be able to help with other household items.

    Let us know how you get on, I'll just move this post over to our housing section and wish you a smooth move 🙂
