Hi @Dadofboys25 and welcome to the community. You might find our webpage helpful. It has advice and some links to charities that might be able to support with a grant - Getting household items | Disability charity Scope UK.

I'd recommend speaking to your Housing Officer who should know of grants, local help organisations etc.

Thankyou unfortunately my local housing officer isn't being too helpful it's like once she got me temporary Accommodation then she forgot about me...barely replies to my Emails and she knows how I'm having to live

Okay, there should be local Freegle or Freecycle groups in the area, social media such as Facebook probably has local independent ones too, where people give things away for free.

Also, try the links given in this thread:
