    Hi @archieY123, welcome to the community. Perhaps for the loan you could chat to your support worker to see if they can help you find something suitable?

    If you are on Universal Credit, you may be able to get a loan or advanced payment from them: https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit-advance-hardship-payment/unexpected-costs

    Or if you need a loan to cover bills, you could try speaking to your local council. Sometimes they have loans or grants available to people who are struggling with their finances.

    Turn2Us have a grant finder that might be worth looking at too: https://grants-search.turn2us.org.uk/

    Be very careful about signing up for any short term or 'payday' loans. They can become expensive very quickly, and it can be difficult to pay them back.

    Hope you can find what you need soon ☺️
