I have tried to get a job but haven't had much luck. Unfortunately, my dad lost his job just before Christmas as the company he worked for closed down. He is at retirement age anyway, but he might still look for another job. My brother is also unemployed.He is 22. We live in a very small town in the north west area of England. The economy is pretty bad, but i guess it's even worse when you live in a small place, as there isn't much work going. I need to decide whether i want to stay here, so that i will be near my brother and my mum's side of the family, or whether i want to move to London , which is 2 hours away by train, as i have a couple of friends there and i have visited there a few times and loved it, and obviously, with it being the capital city, i might have a better chance at getting a job. I would even consider having more training.As i am on jobseekers allowance, obviously i would need to be in accomodation that accepst DSS until i find a job. Can you reccommend anything, and would you suggest i move out of my hometown, or stay put ?. My dad is moving to another town about 30 minutes away from here, as he has recently got a new partner who lives there, and because he wouldn't be able t oafford our house on his own. I have two half brother's in their forties, from my dad's first marriage as well. My dad said he wants a " nice, quiet, easy life ", and " someone should be looking after him now " and " he has been supporting kids for 40 odd years and needs to get away ". I suffer from anxiety and my brother had two breakdowns. He kept crying and suffered from chest pains. I think i may need to go into supported accommodation or a shared flat or hostel. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated as well.

I have had experience in customer service and admin in the past so i might have a chance, and it would be handy to live in where i would be working and meet different people as well. I will take a look at the website you reccommended though just incase.

Go to this site.
www.citizensadvice.org.uk
find out where your nearest office is and book an appointment with them. They offer free advice, and would probably be able to at least suggest to you numerous ideas about accommodation. As for staying or moving, I think you'd be better moving. Better to be broke in a large place with more opportunities than a smaller place with nothing.
