Great day yesterday at the Friendship Cafe in Gloucester! Keynote speaker, Jean Templeton CEO of St Basil's, shared the incredible success she has had with delivering a 'Live and Work' model in Birmingham.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Gloucestershire Nightstop, Cirencester Housing for Young People and Chispa, to explore whats needs to happen to have a 'Live and Work' scheme in Gloucestershire.

A charity hopes to bring low-cost accommodation to Gloucestershire for younger people who work.

AI is everywhere and like it or not we need to understand the risks and opportunities it brings. With that in mind, staff got themselves on an AI training course. It was a very informative day with lots of great guest speakers. We now feel better able to navigate this developing area. Thank you to GRCC for organising the event and to all the guest speakers who took part.

Please remember it is important that you check the reliability of the information if you are using AI to find out about your housing rights.

SWEP in Cheltenham will continue until further notice due to temperatures and the weather warning tomorrow. This will be reviewed again on Friday 9th February.

SWEP is an emergency protocol to protect people that are currently rough sleeping during periods of extreme weather.

If you see a rough sleeper bedded down at any time of year please advise us on StreetLink - Connecting people sleeping rough to local services (thestreetlink.org.uk) . Anyone who finds themselves having to rough sleep can also refer themselves to Streetlink.

To ensure that the SWEP protocol works to the fullest in protecting life, the focus is to ensure that current rough sleepers are accommodated.
