You can use the Street Link website - www.streetlink.org.uk - to send the alert. The details you provide are sent to the Council and local outreach service, Two Saints, to help them find the individual and connect them to support.

During the World Cup, we can all help to make sure that everyone is able to enjoy the atmosphere - the highs and the lows - without the threat of disorder, violence or other crime.

If you know someone who's been involved in violent clashes or other public disorder, you can tell Crimestoppers safely and 100% anonymously - no one will ever know that you spoke up.

Help keep the World Cup about football, and football only.

If you see a wildfire - call 999 immediately.

Stay safe, tell the caller the location, size and any other relevant information (download what3words to your phone to help Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service locate the fire quickly).

During periods of dry and warm weather, there is a greater risk of wildfires and these incidents can escalate rapidly, destroying wildlife and natural habitats.
