Budgeting loan

[needhelptoday]

Hello. I've been on benefits ( income support) for 20 weeks. My husband left me and that's why I'm Claiming it as I was a stay at home mum. I need to replace some stuff that he took when he left ( bed, white goods etc)
As I don't have it as it wasn't mine he paid for it. Anyway I've researched a budgeting loan and you have to be on income support for 26 weeks but Is there anymore help I can access as I don't think I can wait a further 6 weeks to become eligible for this loan, I have no family or disposable income. My credit rating is poor so I can't access credit.

Hello, I'd strongly advise you get In touch with citizens advise they can refer you to furniture charities and apply for grants on your behalf. Do you have a health visitor maybe worth getting in touch as they can also make referrals. Also if you have transport check out freecycle and schpock for free stuff. Best of luck op x

I'd second contacting CAB and seeing if there is a furniture project in your area. Also Googling furniture charity and your area should tell you if there is one. They'll usually deliver too.
