Help someone experiencing rough sleeping
If you are concerned about a person or people experiencing rough sleeping, please let us know as much information as possible using the Streetlink portal.
Please include information about their location and a description of them. We receive and respond to information from the portal, so we can help the people you report.
The Streetlink PortalVolunteer with us
If you want to help other people change their lives, we’d love to have you on the team. Our amazing volunteers help us make a real difference to people’s lives.
We’re looking for:
Outreach volunteers
Our outreach staff work directly with people who are rough sleeping to bring them support, at our hub and out in the community.
Outreach volunteer placements are perfect for people who want to train to become outreach workers or work in similar areas such as substance misuse or mental health work.
Hub volunteers
Our hub volunteer placements are perfect for people who want to support the team in more of an administrative capacity.
This is an opportunity for people to use their office skills to help people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable groups, and also gain further experience and training in a busy office environment.
