Thetford Centre
Do you live in South Norfolk? If you do, why not visit our Connexions Centre in Thetford. You could use the computers there, look through our information library or talk to a Personal Adviser.
Are you 16 or 17?
If you can't go home because you've been thrown out, or shouldn't go home because it isn't safe for you there, that's called being estranged.
If you're estranged from your parents or carers then the council should give you emergency accommodation. Go to Connexions and a housing adviser will support you through this process. Click Contact us to get an appointment.
You'll need to go to your local council to arrange emergency accommodation. (The accommodation may not be in the same area as you live now.) Your local council will refer you to either supported lodgings, bed and breakfast, or a hostel.
Money for living
If you are estranged you may be able to get Income Support or Job Seeker's Allowance depending on your circumstances. Click Benefits and grants to read more.
You can sometimes get Housing Benefit, depending on your circumstances. Click Housing Benefit for more information.
