But there are many organisations who will try their best to help and you best chance is to contact them, tell them all about your situation, and follow their advice. There are lots of people who have been helped and are now settled and supported in a place of their own. As a first port of call there are two top quality advice centres who specialise in helping homeless people. At the Foxton centre a team of workers can offer advice and support, assess your needs and make referrals.
Telephone during office hours : Out of hours emergency enquiries: Shelter provides a free, national telephone advice line staffed by trained housing advisers. We have helped thousands of people, from finding them a place to sleep to suggesting how to handle mortgage arrears. Ring free on Lines are open seven days a week from 8am to midnight. Please note :. There is currently no emergency direct access or night shelter provision for adults in Preston.
If you have not lived in Preston or South Ribble for most of the last year or have no strong local connections it will be almost impossible for the Council to help you. You would be best advised to return to or stay in your home district and seek help there.
