These helplines can give you advice,
information and support on a variety
of issues. The symbols are there to
help you see what each one can help
with.
Two great contacts
that can help you with many of the
questions you may have are:
 Get Connected 0808 808 4994 1pm - 11pm
They
talk to you to find out what you
need to know, and then connect you,
for free, to the right organisation.

that can help you find what is in
your area.
