    There's also the Household Support Fund which is from your local Authority and they maybe able to help.

    Hey @NikkyMay welcome to the community.

    I'm so sorry to hear your bed has broken. We can't supply new beds here unfortunately, but have you spoken to your local council, or checked site like Freecycle? They may be able to help. If you're disabled, there are grants available for help with house furnishings too, so there's help available.

    Do you have anyone close by who may be able to help you?

    Hi nikkimay, the same happened to me and my OT applied for a bed for me through our local council.within days I received a letter to take to a nominated second hand shop however I was unable to take the offer up due to me not being able to travel 9 miles on public transport to pick a bed. Hopefully you will be able to if your local council works the same way.Luckily for me found a lovely bed on a Facebook free site which turned out to be perfect for my hip and back.

    Good luck x
