Hope I have posted in the right place.

I am asking for a friend who has only library internet access. Does anyone know of any agencies that help when someone is in dire need of household items and in receipt of benefits? She has a baby and is in need of a washing machine and a fridge freezer. To cut a long story short she lives in Wallasey and is currently waiting for her money to be sorted out.

Thanks very much for any help or suggestions, which I will pass on to her.

That's great, thanks very much! I will pass the info on to her.

dont charles thompson mission do stuff like that as well?

I don't know, I have never heard of it. But will check it out and pass it on. Thanks very much for your help, much appreciated.

Thanks again, fantastic help on here!!

Have passed on the info and it was gratefully received!! So thank you very much everyone.

WIRE do stuff as well thats in wallasey too

you have to pay for stuff in wire,dont think you pay for stuff from svp or thompson as i think they do it to help those in need,but i may be wrong on that.

Yes, I thought you had to go through an agency to get whatever you needed for free. Although Wire do do recycled items also for sale to the public as well as supplying through an agency. I just didn't know what agencies for my friend to check out.

It's amazing what you find out on here!!

At one time you had to get a letter/ticket/voucher from the social to get stuff free from the agencies - don't know if this still happens.

Great stuff. I have a gas cooker in good working order to get rid of in the near future. I will give one of them a call.
