Scaler Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Posting here aswell as its needed asap, council only have places up north which is too far away from my work as I don't drive - finding a place today or tomorrow would be fantastic. I'll be happy paying to sleeping on somebody's floor until I find a place or I'm at risk of losing my job. If you could message me your number if you have anything it would be good if we could work something out - thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Maybe you could be offered a place "reserved" for refugees? busybannock and Ironwithin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaler Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Nothing at all, still trying though hopefully someone has something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 What about Isleburgh or one of the camping bods, come this time of year the touristy demand surely has to have largely wound down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Don't give up hope.... Only the week before last there were loads of locals willing to share their homes with disadvantaged(?) people from the Middle East (and elsewhere). Maybe one or two of the kind hearted, generous and, altruistic people (who shouted so loudly on here) might make you a similar offer.. After all, charity does begin at home..

flowers Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 If you are looking for something on Shetlink maybe you could describe a bit about yourself. Male or female? Age etc. Who would people be letting into their house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaler Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Didn't really think of that! I'm 21, Male, I'm not too sure what else to put here, but i'll be happy to answer any questions! Would even be willing to pay to sleep in somebodys caravan or something similar, i just need a place temporary until i can find a place to rent.

Malcolm Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Islesburgh is a youth hostel very clean and said to be one of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaler Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I spoke to them hoping I could work something out for me paying in 1-2 weeks, but sadly I have to pay in advance so nothing could be sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whalsa Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 What hours do you work? There is a regular bus service from the north of shetland to Lerwick? It isn't a great service but if you are being offered a place then it may work for you depending on the location and your work schedule.

Scaler Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I start work too early for the bus so its not possible. Looks like I'm going to have no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserker Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Have you tried putting an ad in the accomodation section. Might be more chance of it being seen by people who might be looking to find a lodger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have offered but sadly live nowhere near town so can't be much help. I'm sure a few who spoke in the same manner when it came to refugees would also be willing to help if they could. But of course it's easier to feel good about yourself if you pretend they were all insincere... crofter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
