You could make a real difference with Real Help
You have the power to make a significant impact.
If you encounter someone sleeping rough, we are asking you not to ignore the situation. By sharing their location with the Starting Point outreach team, you can help someone receive the necessary support and care. The team will reach out to the individual and ensure they have access to resources that can aid them in transitioning away from life on the streets.
For more details on the Starting Point team and their efforts to assist those who have become rough sleepers, visit:
Great British Spring Clean 2025
