Our Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) is being triggered in Adur and Worthing from Tuesday 28th November to Monday 4th December due to the Met Office weather warning for the area.

All rough sleepers in Adur and Worthing who have no alternative option for these nights can access accommodation if they need to. Our outreach teams are out advising rough sleepers and working with our housing needs team to assist them into accommodation as well as checking on their welfare.

If you are worried about someone who is sleeping rough, please use the Streetlink website or app to report your concerns. Your messages will be sent direct to our outreach services who will try to find individuals and notify them of their options.
