Please please let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with ?????

Hi @ruthruth1
Before you apply for a loan, it might be worth checking that you are getting all the extra money and help you can get with PIP.
Your local council might give you vouchers to help pay for essentials like a cooker. Each welfare assistance scheme varies, so contact your local council.
If you have checked your entitlements, you could also try searching for grants.
Finally, and this is a personal suggestion because you are moving very soon, you could consider trying your local Freegle or Freecycle group - they often have cookers and fridges if you can collect yourself or know someone who could. -
Hi @ruthruth1
Turn 2 Us has a great page about where you can get assistance with the cost of white goods
