Advice

Hi everyone,I feel a bit embarrassed about this, but I’m really struggling financially at the moment and I’m not sure what options I have.

I’m currently on my own with my baby and I don’t really have any support from my baby’s dad. Things are quite tight and it’s getting quite stressful trying to manage everything.

I’m also worried that I may not be able to go back to work after my maternity leave ends because childcare is going to be really difficult to arrange and afford, which is adding to the stress.

I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any advice on what help is available (benefits, grants, childcare support, anything really), or even just ways you managed to make things a bit easier.

Any advice or kind words would really help right now. Thank you 🤍
