Please share: 🌡️ As temperatures continue to rise across the UK, it's important to remember that extreme weather doesn't just affect our comfort, it can pose serious risks for people experiencing homelessness.
Access to water, shade, cooling spaces and safe accommodation isn't something everyone can take for granted.
If you're out and about during the heatwave, small acts of kindness can make a real difference:
💧 Offer a bottle of water if you're able to.
🧴 Consider carrying spare sunscreen.
🏢 Signpost people to local support services and cooling spaces.
❤️ Treat everyone with dignity, respect and compassion.
At YMCA, we believe every young person deserves a safe place to call home, regardless of the weather.
