What's your experience of trying to access support from your local authority / council like?

I've never applied for help with any help from my local council because I didn't know that they could help with stuff like that, and if they did they've never let it be widely known.

Whenever I have needed help to purchase a large item like a fridge freezer for example, I've either turned to Citizens Advice or a local charity for help and advice on how to buy one if I haven't had enough money to do so.
