How to secure funding (private, not student finance) for a 2nd degree?

Hiya,

I'm looking for some advice/help/direction as to how I secure funding for my second degree.
I dropped out of uni in 2015 after 2 yrs of study due to family circumstance.
I have been told to appeal my funding in my second year, which I shall, however I'm fairly certain it aont be granted as I have no evidence of anything taking place only my word for it.
I have been pointed to private funding, not self funding. Take out a studnet loan to cover the years I cant, or until student finance kicks in. My questions are:
- what is the preferred organisation to go through to do this? What organisations to apply for for funding?
- are the circumstances similar to that of Student finance? I be been told they are but at a high percentage of interest when I begin to repay them?
- can you have both student finance and private funding?
- any articles or forums to help with is really appreciated, I havent found much on a returning students funding, only successful cases of appealing student finance (I'm sure mine wont be so I need to look elsewhere).

Thank you
Lucy
