Benefits are ending soon and I have no offer - 12 months and counting

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies.

Call 211 to hear about emergency help with rent or utilities in your area. The list was longer than I expected.

I took a temp job while I kept looking. It covered rent, and the agency sent me to a permanent job within a couple of months.
