Places that helped me after losing my job - what worked for you?

A neighbour pointed me to a programme that I wish I had known earlier. The workforce centre ran a weekly job club. Has anyone used the tax clinics?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I found free tax help through a community volunteer programme. It saved me a fee.
