#Cambridge City Council have announced further #SevereWeatherEmergencyProtocol #SWEP this week which means there are emergency beds for anyone, even if they have no local connection to the city. If you meet anyone who's sleeping outdoors in these freezing conditions and wants some help, get in touch with #StreetLink who will connect people sleeping rough to local services in the UK. Here's the website - https://www.streetlink.org.uk/ #Homelessness #Homeless #HomelessServices #CambridgeHomeless

Glad snow's melting. But Severe Weather Emergency Protocol will be deactivated. In SWEP, councils should provide emergency accommodation for rough sleepers. I caledl Routes Off The Street (Camden's SWEP hotline) on Sunday for a young man - freezing night, temperature predicted to -6. No answer,, left a message, they never called me back. Next morning our outreach located the man, still on the street and gave him a tent. Felt so helpless. #GiveAShift #SolidarityNotCharity #Camden #SWEP

Thing is ... There is *no reason* why this cannot be instituted year-round.

It's almost better to be #homeless in the Winter than the Summer. And that just doesn't make sense.

It's Transformational.

#Cambridge Council have initiated #SWEP - #SevereWeatherEmergencyProtocol - If you're worried about anyone sleeping rough contact the council directly or www.streetlink.org.uk to get emergency bed out of the cold!
