You may be eligible for a decoration grant where you can get money or vouchers to buy paint/ other decorating materials.
STARTER PACKS

You may also live in area where there is a starter pack service which can provide you with pots and pans, cutlery, and bedding.
FURNITURE INITIATIVES

You can get good quality second hand furniture to make your home more comfortable to live in.
SCOTTISH WELFARE FUND

You may be eligible for a grant to help pay some costs - these are available from local authorities.

Credit unions offer people different ways to save and affordable alternatives to highstreet banking and payday loans.
