Financial difficulties

[Mumof3at26]

I can’t afford food shopping. I need nappies, wipes and baby snacks for my 9 & 19 month old. Aswell as food my kids like. We have hit rock bottom.

Contact a food bank.

Can you access a food bank? Or any local churches who redistribute food?

Your Health Visitor can refer you to a food bank, can you call her?

Yes, please contact your local citizens advice or similar charity, and/or find a local food bank. Your council should be able to provide details if you don't know how to find them. They may also be able to point you towards crisis support.

Well meaning MNers who read this thread should be reminded that we don't really know the circumstances of the people who post on here. And they should therefore be very cautious about exercising their generosity. Help is already available in the community for people who really need it.

Contact your health adviser, or GP(Doctors surgery). They will be able to help you. Phone today.

Have you family who could help?
Friends?
Neighbours?
