Hi Everyone!
I have been living in Spain 5 years, as a non-resident, went back to UK a year ago with girlfriend. I am 69 years old)
We broke up and I briefly cae back to Spain in Nov.
I shared apt with friend who has moved elsewhere, due to exchange rate,my reduced pension is so small, 120 pounds a week-I am now homeless, and no one in UK to go to.My question is -how and where do I go in UK, to get housing, somewhere to live?
I have no savings etc, in fact will have to be at mercy of town where the plane home lands!
I,ve tried to ask pension people in Newcastle-they cant help.I have no Town to call home in UK, what an earth can I do, am very low, at wits end.

i live in swansea and i believe there is housing available here,it would not be the best accomodation in the worl but i think you would probably get something from the council or housing associations. swansea does have a very good housing options office.

Thx for reply
Swansea? Yes, problem being with nowhere to stay there, it does,nt give me time to sort these things out.
Thx for info tho
Happy New Year.
