Hi,

If you're living in England there's the new Household Support Fund which is administered by your local Authority so you should speak to them. Details in link.https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-launches-500m-support-for-vulnerable-households-over-winter

Hi @Kazcooper

Welcome to the community!

I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're in. Have you been able to get in touch with your local authority about this at all?

You may want to look into grants that might be available to you. We have a page on our website about finding and applying for grants that you may find helpful.

Do you mind me asking what you're currently sleeping on at the moment?

If you have any spare funds, which I appreciate you might not, you could try looking for a second hand bed. For example, you could try looking in a charity shop that does furniture, or on an online marketplace.

It may be an idea to put a wanted ad on your local freecycle group.

Hi Kaz, When I moved to my last home there was a charity in the area which linked up with other local charities like HomeStart and Healthy Minds etc and helped people out with free/very cheap but good furniture if they were in need. A lot of the big charities furniture places end up dumping stuff they can't sell so it works out well both ways.
