Helping Rough Sleepers

Rough sleepers don't have addresses and it can be hard to give an exact location for someone needing help.  If you need to give an accurate location, you might try this.

Tackling rough sleeping and homelessness in the Square Mile

The City of London Corporation has a longstanding commitment in taking preventative measures to address rough sleeping and homelessness in the City and to support those it affects throughout the year.

To help spread the word, we’re running an awareness-raising campaign this winter to highlight:
how people can make referrals and donations to support services
the difference between begging and rough sleeping.

The poster campaign is running in multiple high footfall areas across the Square Mile including Liverpool Street, Cannon Street, Blackfriars and Fenchurch Street stations as well as Cheapside and Bishopsgate.

To make a referral to StreetLink, you can:
download the Streetlink app
visit the StreetLink website
call the 24 hour national helpline: 0300 500 0914.
If you would like to find out more about:
our homelessness and housing services, please email Will Norman
