return to work grants

Hi,
i'm long term unemployed and i've have a job offer that will alow me to have a well paid job, but, i need some financial assistance to take up this post at the end of May 2013.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to find help some help returning to work because all the grants that were available through the likes of the DWP(jobcentre to you and me) have dis-appeared or i no longer qualify.

So, my question is, help, can anyone suggest a source that could helpme with a return to grant of some description?

    Your best bet may be your new boss. I know several companies who have helped people along until their first pay day.

    Might be your best (and only.?) option as the 'back into work' grant finished on the 31st March (along with Crisis Loans and a few others)...

    Don't think there's much in the way of help at the moment...
