    HI and welcome,

    I'm one of the community champions here on scope and i'm here to help and advise others.

    May i ask if you're privately renting your home or rent from council/social housing?

    Do you also want to live in the same area or a different area?

    Is the bungalow you're living in because you have a disability? are you looking for advice on companies to help you move? funding to help with moving costs?

    Sorry but you haven't really given any information for anyone to be able to advise you correctly. If we could have some more information then it would be helpful.

    Hi @Lynne2020 Welcome to the community. Im sorry but it isn't very clear what you want help with. Do you want to find help to find a new house? or help with finances ? or help with removal company. Have you got somewhere to move to ?  As you are in a housing association property are you looking for a swap with them if so do you have a housing officer you can contact. It may also be worth contacting your local council housing team  . I was assigned a housing officer through my council who was brilliant support, she went o visit houses with me, arranged the moving company and assistance packing up and stuff
