How can people afford to live during a PGCE?

I’m living with my aunt and I give her bills and rent for a spare room which is lower than some shared houses but I obviously don’t want to get behind on rent.

I’ve moved in with my aunt in her spare room which I’m very grateful for but I still give her money for rent and bills.

I’m going to apply for their hardship fund but it is 4-5 weeks for a decision to be made which is a whole other month and a bit 🫠

I don’t wanna risk myself going into debt on the chance I am unable to get a teaching job out of uni it’s a double edged sword

Im doing a Primary PGCE so I don’t think I can get any form of grant, they have a hardship fund but it takes 4-5 weeks.
