Two broken ribs, broken upper arm and bruises everywhere. Begged council to help, there's nothing. I don't know what else to do, please help me :crying:

I've just spoken to a Safe Stop affiliated with Depaul UK - if you can get to a GP either today or tomorrow morning then they should be able to refer you to a service such as this - or one of the foyers. If not a GP then the other kinds of people who could refer you are people at the council or the youth worker you mentioned you had contact with before. Unfortunately it's really difficult for me to refer you having not met you as I have no proof of your ID etc which is what they need, they will also need to run a police check.
Based on your age and situation - Foyer Federation/Depaul UK are both there to prevent you from having to sleep rough if you don't have friends or family to stay with and or the council can't offer you anything.
Keep us posted.
Whatever happens, try not to take no for an answer. If a GP referral to those places will get you to somewhere warm and dry then make sure they actually make the referral urgently. And if you didn't like the doctor you saw last time ask to see someone else.
:yes: are you carrying any kind of ID with you?
Good luck.
Hope you get an appointment tomorrow; showing up in person at around 8:30 or when they open is usually the best way to do that.
I have been to GP, had urgent referral for some sort of emergency housing, not sure what or where yet, I will find out about in a couple of days, and have got a place in a B&B while the referral goes through. This is a huuuge relief and I thank everyone who has helped me get this far.
*hug* Congratulations :yippe:
:yes: what I've just said in a PM - major bravery!
*hug*
I think I'm dreaming!!
