You can help people on the streets of Sheffield this winter! Just put these numbers in your phone and call if you see someone in need.
*IMPORTANT* Due to the recent cold weather, we think it's extremely important that our supporters know what to do if they see someone sleeping rough and are concerned for their safety. During cold weather, Sheffield City Council offers emergency overnight accommodation (crash pad accommodation and accommodation in hostels) to any rough sleepers through Weather Watch, so the most important thing you can do is contact either of these two services:
Streetlink: Website http://www.streetlink.org.uk Phone 0300 500 0914
Housing Solutions: Out of hours number 0800 7311 689
Both of these services will connect to outreach teams, who are on duty to pick up rough sleepers and offer them Weather Watch accommodation. If you see someone in need of urgent medical attention, please call 999.
