Safer off the Streets Peterborough

Safer off the Streets is proud to be leading the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census in Peterborough this week, working alongside organisations across the city to help build a clearer picture of women’s experiences of homelessness.
Women experiencing homelessness can often be missed by traditional rough sleeping counts. By working together and gathering better data, we can better understand local need and help shape services and solutions that are safer, more accessible and responsive to women.
A huge thank you to all of our partners taking part and contributing to this important work 🧡

A rough sleeping census will be carried out it Peterborough to highlight an often overlooked issue that faces many women in the city.

As an organisation whose sole mission is to make Peterborough a city where homelessness is rare, brief and unrepeated, we're encouraged to hear that tackling homelessness will be a priority for Andy Burnham's government.
We echo the Prime Minister's call for leaders to work together. At Safer off the Streets, this is at the heart of what we do- bringing partners from across Peterborough together to break down barriers, reduce duplication and identify gaps in provision, ensuring services are coordinated and working towards our shared mission.
We now look forward to hearing more about the UK Government's plans to provide wraparound support for people with complex needs, alongside sustainable funding and the long-term solutions needed to prevent and end homelessness.

This week, the government has committed to ‘offer everyone a route off the streets this Christmas’

We don't need to tell you how hot it is out there, but imagine having no home to go to and nowhere to shelter from the heat.

The outreach team at Peterborough City Council are actively looking for those experiencing homelessness to offer safe shelter as part of their Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP). This could literally save lives.

So, what can you do? If you know of anyone experiencing street homelessness, head to https://lnkd.in/gsqNwfj, including as much information as possible to help the outreach team find them as quickly as possible.
