❄️ £0 NEEDED ❄️ During the colder weather, it’s important to know what support is available in Cambridge City for people experiencing street homelessness. Contact thestreetlink.org.uk/ if you see someone rough sleeping. They can check on them and signpost them to support.

Everyone has a back story, but we're here to help rough sleepers start the next chapter. In many cases rough sleepers have experienced trauma or adversity. Some may have mental ill-health, others struggle with alcohol or drugs, often creating long-term barriers to moving on. But the council and local partners are able to offer support to each individual rough sleeper in Cambridge to help start a new chapter and make a permanent move away from a street-based lifestyle. cambridge.gov.uk/news/2023/1… #StreetAid #CambridgeStreetAid #StreetAidWeek @camstreetaid
