How You Can Help Rough Sleepers to Access Support During Severe Weather

Advice and Information - 18 January 2024

Temperatures in Hounslow are expected to fall below freezing over the next few days.
The Mayor of London has activated a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) to protect people who are sleeping rough in the borough.

This means that emergency accommodation is now available to make sure that people can be brought off the streets and away from the cold.

If you know someone who is sleeping rough in Hounslow or if you see someone sleeping rough, you can help them by referring them to Streetlink so they can access the support they need.

You can also use this service to get help for yourself if you are sleeping rough in Hounslow.
