FAMILIES whose homes were flooded in the tidal surge are being offered secondhand furniture to help them get back on their feet.
East Riding Council has teamed up with Real Aid to help the worst- affected residents.
As well as offering furniture, Real Aid also has cleaning equipment and food parcels to distribute.
Nigel Leighton, director of environment and neighbourhood services at the council, said: "We would like to thank Real Aid for its support in helping those affected by last week's widespread flooding and I am confident the offer of furniture and cleaning equipment will go a long way to helping families cope with the devastating consequences."
Colin Raine, of Real Aid, said: "Anyone phoning Real Aid will be able to speak to us in confidence and, wherever possible, we will offer help."
Real Aid is based in Tickton and can be contacted by emailing admin@realaid.org.uk or calling 01482 880660.
