Carpeting a unfurnished temp accommodation

There’s a site called endfurniturepoverty (can’t link at the moment) which might have something near you.

In your first post you wrote "I have tried asking lwp for help with this(atleast the living room) as my daughter is crawling. They said they cannot help as it is a temporary accommodation. I'm in receipt of uc and child benefit ."

Is this a typo and you mean DWP or did you mean to type lwp? If the latter I assume this means "local welfare provision"? If you didn't mean the latter then have you tried approaching the council as many councils do have a local welfare provision which took the place of some discretionary payments that used to be made by the DWP.

Who placed you in temporary accomodation? Could you approach them and ask if they can help or if they can't, ask if they have a local list of charities and other organisations who can help.

OP says they were placed by local council.

Do you have family that could possibly help out?

Mum has helped out as much as she can but has gone far into her credit card to help us out with a cot and curtains

I read the first post twice, saw private landlord mentioned and somehow missed the mention of the council...

I would suggest going back to the council and if they can't help directly then ask if they have a list of organisations who may be able to help. I would have thought this is something that Social Services would be able to help with, either directly or through sign posting.

I was also placed there by the councils temporary accommodation team but it is a private landlord but I have been unsuccessful in contacting them since I got my tenancy

You say temporary accommodation, but also refer to having a tenancy, which is it?

If you are on Facebook, join local selling groups and put a post up asking if anyone has any rugs, carpet off cuts etc as you are a single parent, just been provided uncarpeted accommodation and the baby is crawling but you've no money for any floor covering, does anyone have anything spare.

I've seen plenty of posts go up like this, from floods, to first home, to surprise baby and people have rallied round with things and also pointed out where to approach in the local area.

As a temporary thing, any spare bedding can go on the floor.
