Help with moving home

I might be moving home soon and because i rent privately i won't be taking most of the furniture with me. I'll need to buy a sofa, coffee table, dining table etc. I really don't have the funds right now.
I read about 'budgeting loans' on Government site but these need paying back (if i have to, then it's an option). I also read about discretionary housing payments, which sound like they're mostly for paying rent, rather than helping to buy items.
Does anybody know where i might get some help here? Should i perhaps call my local council or housing association?

There is very little available for help with buying household items apart from as you mentioned budgeting loan
Some charities may be able to help but none cine to mind
I hope others have more advice for you
Good luck with the move
Because of course it can be either cheap, very cheap or, often, free. People get rid of good stuff, for many reasons, and often they don't want or need the money, or don't have time to hang around waiting for a buyer, or don't want to pay for a van to take stuff to the dump, and in any case don't like dumping perfectly good stuff, sometimes good as new. They would rather give it away. Give it to a good cause, or just give it for the good feeling.
When we moved, the sales section of Facebook was always a good place to keep an eye on, you get some ridiculously good bargains on there.
Good luck
