    Hello @hatty22 and welcome to the community :) 

    Thank you for introducing yourself and telling us a bit about your situation. 

    Have you been in touch with your local council to ask whether there are any services that can support with this?

     

    This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.


    I have moved your thread over to our housing category and edited the title so that other members know what the thread is about :)

    Hi there Ross nice to meet you, thanks for your reply muchly appreciated. No I haven't looked into to asking the council as I'm not sure who you would speak to there. But yesterday I was told that adult  social care services but be worth looking into, so I'm going to look onto that. But I also thank you for your info too.
