Is there any way I can get free first aid supplies?
Ollie asked:
I self harm and can’t afford the medical/ first aid supplies I need. I do not want to go to the doctors or A&E because it is pointless, but I really need to get regular supplies because I have to change the dressings very regularly, and I almost always have something that definitely needs to be dressed and covered. Please don’t lecture me on stopping, I have tried and am now trying to cut down. Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that could send anything, or any charities that offer them?
Thank you for your answers.

The best place to get them is to talk to a physician about giving you some.
Or go to an NHS hospital and tell them that you want to build a first aid kit.
As one of the younger doctors they will help you out.
Second hand stores? Not sure if you should trust them for first aid supplies.
Or talk with the nurse in school about giving you some stuff, they usually do.
Any chemist will sell them to you, it is not that expensive, just the normal bandages and you will be ok
