Ms-Shapes   10 #1 Posted January 21, 2014 Hi! I have a friend in Manchester who is in urgent need of cheap accommodation in Sheffield or surrounding area for a week or two. Any suggestions - please no trolls or time wasters answering to this - she's in an abusive relationship and needs to stay somewhere away from Manchester on Police advise and she's asked about Sheffield.

Bruno   10 #2 Posted January 22, 2014 Not trolling but why only a week or two weeks?  Maybe better just booking into a B&B for such a short space of time, or could you not put her up seen as you are her friend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ms-Shapes   10 #3 Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks Bruno I'm not sure why it's only for a week or two. Yes a B&B is an option - I'm hoping someone can suggest the names of suitable cheap places to stay. If I was able to let her stay with me, I wouldn't be posting on SF asking for suggestions for cheap accommodation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ms Interpret   10 #4 Posted January 22, 2014 Try the Alara bed and breakfast on Penistone road £35 per night with full breakfast It is a basic B and B no frills but the reviews are OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
999tigger   10 #5 Posted January 22, 2014 Have a look at the charities and aid organisations on this link. http://sheffielddact.org.uk/domestic-abuse/get-help/support-for-women/  There are helplines and refuges there.  Problem with even bed and breakfast is that a couple of weeks can be expensive if you dont have the money. It is for Sheffield so you might have to look at the equivalent in Manchester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
