OH being made redundant, advice needed please

Hi,

Hope someone can advise me, I would go to my local CAB but it has been closed down. Tried to use the phone service but again because my local centre has closed there is no one to take the calls.

Husband due to be made redundant in April, I am due to go on maternity leave in May. Does anyone know of any help we will be entitled to?

We currently both work full time 35 hours each a week, and live in a private rented property. Our outgoings are around £1,650 a month. Reundancy pay out due of around £5,000 and maternity pay from May will be statutory of £135.00 a week. It seems the only option at the moment is if my husband cant find another job then I will have to return early from my maternity leave. I can't find any other advice online so anything would be helpful. Thanks
