Hi,

I notice from another thread that you're claiming income related ESA, this means you can ask for a budgeting loan but it will need to be repaid back. If you're single (with no dependant children that you live with) then the maximum amount you can borrow is £348. This also needs to be repaid back from future benefit payments. https://www.gov.uk/budgeting-help-benefits/eligibility

Sometimes local councils have grants that help people on low income but this does depend on your local council and you will need to contact them to ask.

Facebook have freesite groups and people give away furniture sometimes, same with gumtree.
