Hi I split from my ex twelve months ago, I work full time, so I am not entitled to much help, I have recently applied for help with new school uniform from our local council but was knocked back (my son is starting high-school) their father gives me the minimum amount and doesn’t support us financially I was just wondering if there are any other avenues in which I could explore for help with the costs of living. I do claim Universal Credit but must admit I struggle to keep my head above water most months.
