Decorating.for disabled

For the last year i have been slowly building up decorating supplies ready for the day i decorate, it's a personal jihad i have on not hitting council resources. As i'm almost there, what options are open to me if i wobble a lot because a dodgy polg gene, and terrified of killing myself?Also, how do i get rid of two epilepsy damaged armchairs, bed and cooker? without paying the high price being asked by the council? It's beyond my limited income.Does anyone Know where i can get a bed that is epilepsy proof? With phone, internet, water, and food prices going up ready for brixit my income is very limited.Why do i feel like a human body dumping point for asking? I have tried so, so hard not to ask.

Dennis - did you find any solutions?I was trying to remember the name of ECIL where they may be able to put you in touch with someone/a group who can help you.  Your Councillors also may be able to help as they may know organisations and in the past I have found Age UK a mine of knowledge with a great list of organisations that can help or find help for you. For instance they found someone from the British Legion who would help my blind and very elderly FIL find his way through a hospital to visit my MIL.  He wouldn't take up this kind offer unfortunately - but the offer was there.  (We used to go at weekends but he wanted to go more often.)

Have you tried contacting Ealing Centre for Independent Living (ECIL)? They offer advice and support on issues aimed at helping people live independently at home.http://www.ecil.org/
