Help with furniture or clothes

Are there any grants or loans for getting help with furniture or clothes?

I am on income support and thanks to my ex landlord who discarded all of my daughter and I's belongings we need to get furniture clothes etc so as my question says is there any help we can receive?

    You may be eligible for a budgeting loan.

    Otherwise charity shops/Freecycle etc

    Your local CAB should be able to give you a list of people/organisations who may be able to help.

    Have you made a claim against your ex landlord? CAB could help with this if you are entitled to compensation.

    Thanks for the reply, I've been suffering a bit from depression from the whole episode with my ex landlord and they don't help by ignoring my communication with them but I will enquire withe CAB when I make an appointment.

    Try some of the free sites and also any selling sites on FB, sometimes there are freebies on these and things are really cheap.

    And Sue your landlord.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Contact the council.. You have rights as a tenant & the landlord can't do that.
