A friend of mine is an english citizen, who has worked full time for over 10 years and has never claimed anything from the government before.
She has now hit a rough patch in her life and requires help but is not getting anything of what she needs. She is 20 weeks pregnant and has just split from her boyfriend, she has no where to live and does not accrue enough points with council to get housing. She has been offered a room at a b&b in slough (even though she works in Newbury) or a room at a half way house sharing bathroom facilities with the other guests. This place does not look or sound safe for her. Does anyone know of way she could be helped or anyone else she can speak to? -------------------- If I ruled the world.......
