My previous accommodation I rented from my ex-partner who decided to evict me because he wanted to sell but now lives there. There was a built in cooker at the property. Unfortunately where I live now the property was ransacked before I moved in and cooker was taken. Also I wish I knew how other people on benefits lived cos I can't I have council tax and top up rent to pay. After doing an expenditure sheet I have £2 per month to spare for myselft. My cheapest place to go to socialise is church.

a couple of people have said you can a apply for a community care grant. you can't get that or a budgeting loan unless you're benefit is topped up by income support. you can only get a crisis loan if you have incapacity benefit only, and depending on you're commitments they will only ask for between 5 and 12% to pay it back. basically the more outgoings you already have the less you pay back. plus they normally will give money for a new appliance as you will get a guarantee, where other places may only give second hand. please ignore the stupid answers from people who work, and think everyone on benefit gets everything for nothing. perhaps they have missed the point that you would pay this back and you are in fact too ill to work

the social fund loan dont take a lot back, probably only a couple of pounds a week. Your gonna get a brand new cooker, surely if you need it that much you can afford £2 a week. You can go to your local churches too, sometimes they have funds to help the needy.

If you are on incapacity benefit you may be able to get funding from the social. They may just give you the money instead of loaning you the money.
Give them a call & see if you are entitled to a grant.

In Cumbria, there is Eden Granary Furniture Project, which takes second hand furniture, white goods and rugs/carpets and gives it to people who are on benefits.
I'm sure there's bound to be other such projects in other areas. try Yellow Pages or Citizen's Advice Bureau, for help.

try a social fund grant, you dont have to pay them back. We have a place called Sofa near us that sells stuff cheaply to people on low incomes, never anything over £100. See if you have something like that near you.

A SOCIAL FUND GRANT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PAID BACK SO MAKE A LIST, AVERAGE PAY OUT COULD TOP £1000 FOR ESSENTIAL ITEMS.
