Emergency homeless details

What to do if you see someone sleeping rough

Street Link logoIf you see someone sleeping rough we recommend you contact StreetLink – the rough sleeper referral service for England and Wales. You can either call 0300 500 0914, visit www.streetlink.org.uk  or download the app from the Apple or Google Play store.

StreetLink staff will then be able to connect rough sleepers with local street outreach teams or other support groups in the local area. The service accepts calls from the public and self-referrals from current rough sleepers.

If you are immediately concerned about the health of a rough sleeper, dial 999 for the emergency services.
