Homeless
It can be difficult to sort out emergency accommodation. During daytime hours local advice centres and Connexions can help. If you are over 16 you can try the housing department at your local council. Search for the contact details in the Info Zone.
In the evening, the safest bet is to see if you can stay with a friend or other family member. This is much safer than sleeping on the streets.
Day or night, you can contact the helplines below.
