Hi iam a unpaid carer for my autistic sister I am also disabled I was just wondering is there any charities that will give me a grant so I can get new carpet I don't want dear stuff but we just don't have the money we did a house exchange and those supposed to leave things but they didn't so we have concrete floors and it's very cold and not good for my arthritis we don't really get any support from anyone so I was just wondering if anybody knows anything that could help we had the benefit loan which were paying back but the whole house had to be decorated and I had to get people into clean it because it was left that bad

Hi @donna27, and welcome to the community!
You may like to have a look at this online grants search to see if any are suitable for you. You haven't mentioned whether you're currently claiming any benefits, but you may also like to check the online benefits calculator to see if there's anything you could be entitled to. -

If you do then you can apply for a budgeting loan but it will need to be repaid back from future benefit payments. How much you're entitled to will depend on your circumstances. Link here with details. https://www.gov.uk/budgeting-help-benefits/eligibilityThere's a budgeting advance available if you claim Universal Credit. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/on-universal-credit/budgeting-advance/You need to be claiming either of those benefits for 6 months before you can apply.Sometimes local councils have grants you maybe able to apply for but you'll need to ask them about this.Other than that you can check the link above for available grants.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi @donna27 Welcome on board. Did you view the houser before you swapped ? and come to any agreement about the condition it should be left in.
Is it a private rent or social housing as if council they sometimes issue decorating vouchers if the home isnt in a fit condition . However I dont know about carpets as in my area if there are carpets in a council property they remove them before the new occupant moves in and then the new occupant has to carpet the property -

You can try contact your local Authority sometimes they have extra funding to help those on low income. Other than that you'll need to google search your area to see what maybe available.
