thanks for all the replies. Does anyone know what how the financial support is diffrent if you attend the open university? Is there any help towards paying the fees and cost of living expenses?

As OU study is part time, there's no funding for living expenses as students support themselves by working or being on benefits.0 -
I've done two OU courses in the last three years, and yes you can get your course fees paid depending on your income (but that may be different if you are with a partner as their income is taken into account), but you don't get any extra towards living costs. All the info is on the OU website.0
