Rough sleeper outreach
Our assertive outreach teams connect with people sleeping rough to provide them with essential supplies, warm conversations, and information about support services to help them get off the streets.
In urban areas the team provide daily outreach walks to connect with people sleeping on the cities’ streets and help them access expert support and local off-the-streets accommodation.
In rural areas, the team will work with local partners and the general public to identify rough sleepers in hard-to-reach or isolated locations and bring support to them.
We see people transform their lives. They can go from being homeless, having not washed, being very chaotic and unhappy, emotionally agitated and antisocial. Then through positive engagement, better housing options and drug and alcohol support, these people’s lives can be transformed and they can go from someone who was an outcast to someone who is leading a normal life in many respects.

If you are worried about someone sleeping rough, report their whereabouts via Street Link and the local team will be able to follow up with them.
