How to get free support worker hours

I now have to pay for my own support worker 4 hours a week approx £73 per week. I can't afford it. Anyone know of financial help or free support. Thanks

Thank you for joining and sharing.

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing financial problems with a support worker.
Please can I say if you have a mental health condition with additional problems or conditions.
You can apply to mental health charities.
They offer floating support or an out reach worker.
I used this one last time.

Might not be in all areas.
Other options are if you have a condition, illness or disability. Often a charity or organisation relevant to that condition, illness or disability.
They offer a lot of guidance, advice and information. Also can help with any support or difficulties you may be experiencing.
Please if I can help further . Please get in touch happy to be supportive.
Please take care.

You have a mental health condition you need to contact them as they will give you some one to talk to.
The other point is to look on line type in your postcode and ask for relevant organisations.
You have not mentioned these so I would advise that.
You live in Liverpool area should be some organisations regarding mental health or others.
MIND is one also Rethink an advocate charity might be useful.

Please may I add you could ask your Doctor to refer you to anything like I have mentioned the mental health charities.
Take care.
