    I've volunteered for my local 'Helps' group. We take the phonecalls in the local Salvation Army place. Please do see if they can help at all, we took a call from someone needing shopping that had no money, as far as I know they would be helped anyway. Am sure the Sally Army will help anyone, you don't need to be religious, they will just help. Good luck.

    thankyou i will have a look i just feel so embarassed feel like maybe if i had savings we wouldnt be in this possition thanks all ill search facebook xx

    Please don't feel embarrassed.  If the government couldn't plan for this how were you supposed to?  Keep reaching out for support, there is probably more support out there now than there has been for years
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......

    I'm so sorry you've not had any luck so far - I've been thinking of you.

    These are three Facebook groups local to St Helens that I've found via https://covidmutualaid.org/
    • Haresfinch Mutual Aid Group Coronavirus 2020
    • Parr Helping Hands
    • Thatto Heath Helping Hands
    There's also a telephone number for St Helens Council

    Do you have any contact with the children school? I know many are offering packed lunches and food help to those who are struggling?
    I’d you have an bills due to come out of the bank cancel DD’s online and buy some food. You can always call and explain the situation but you need to feed you family. I’m so sorry you are in this situation at this scary time. 

    Take care and I hope you get some support locally.
