    The Family Fund give white goods if you have a child with a disability that meets their criteria. Not sure about anywhere else if that isn't your situation :undecided

    You might be able to get a budgeting loan, but other than that no.

    You can always try freecycle for white goods. Lot's of people repacing their old ones advertise them on there for people in need.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    My council has just opened a shop (in anotherwise empty shop space - brilliant idea) selling re-furbished white goods - washing machine about £80 may be worth giving your council a ring see if they are doing something similar.
