@tom5648 good evening and a warm welcome to scope, I would normally suggest you seek help from a local food bank but with the new year it will be Tuesday at the earliest before they re-open, do you have any family or friends who could help? 

Sandy_123

Hi @tom5648 are there any soup kitchens near you in your area, do you live next to a sikh temple as they will provide a meal to any one who walks in. Has your local council got anything set up for your area? Untill you can access a food bank

Sandy_123

Failing all that can you ring out of hours social services for some advice 

tom5648

think i am just going to have to wait  it out till monday Amd get foodbank just hard at the moment, i have no odea where a temple would be, thank you 

Sandy_123

I am routing for you, if you feel unwell then don't hesitate to go to a@e as you havnt eaten for a few days.  Or ring 111 for advice. It's a shame you have no family or friends.
Without telling me where you live what area are you in so I can have a search in your area 

tom5648

We would help if we could but we’re not allowed. And it would make us open to being scammed. Of course I know you understand. 
What about your local Christian church They help you in a lot of ways including food. Or ring the Salvation Army. Both will be open. 

Sandy_123

Well they were some help not, as working hours won't be until Tues. Personally I would ring them back.  Did you put a post out on fb, I will look in your area on search. There is always someone here to listen to you and try to help. 

tom5648

I understand about the scams etc people like that ruin it for the genuinly in need, have heard nothing bck from facebook adim from the group..i will call salvation army 1st thing thank u all so much

If u put a post on your fb page the people on there may be able to help hopefully the admin on that page acts 1st thing in morning. I am really sorry that your not near me, so I can't help by getting you food. 
Maybe admin can advice more on here tomorrow.
