Concerned about some sleeping rough?

We're receiving a lot of messages from the public letting us know where people are rough sleeping. Our teams have never known demand like we are currently experiencing, and we want to make sure we are spending time visiting people who want and need our support.

Before notifying us, If you can, please check with the person you're contacting us about that they are happy for you to send us information about them. If you can get their name that's even better! Please always make sure you are safe when approaching anyone alone.

If you can't, or don't feel comfortable, approaching someone please let the Council know of their whereabouts via the streetlink website where you can make an alert. thestreetlink.org.uk

StreetLink complements existing outreach work by alerting teams to people they haven’t seen before.

This will mean we can prioritise our work with those who need it most. Thank you.
