Is there a grant for me?

I’m hoping someone can help!
I’m 31, I was 30 weeks pregnant when I was made redundant in November. Our baby girl is now 3 weeks old and we also have a 2 year old Son. As the company made me redundant after me only being there for 18 months, I’ve left with basically nothing other then statutory maternity pay. This is my only form of income.
I desperately want to do a makeup course so I can work from home around our kids.
Someone said to me there may be a grant I might be eligible for?

    Better off asking your local colleges to see what’s available

    Does your partner/husband have an income? Do you consider that a family income that you share as a unit?

    I'm only asking because you have used "our baby girl" and "my only form of income".

    Have you asked the 'someone' what they had in mind in terms of a grant?

    Also have a look at https://www.gov.uk/grant-bursary-adult-learners
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
