How can I help someone sleeping rough?
- If they're sleeping rough in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme - ring us on: 0800 970 2304. Give us a precise location of the person, including street, shop name, and postcode if possible and we will visit on our next outreach.
- For all other areas ring Streetlink: 0300 500 0914.
- If you feel comfortable, offer them a drink or food.
- Don't offer them money - it's better to have an understanding and be kind.
