The Buckingham Council urges rough sleepers and people aware of rough sleepers to contact Streetlink for a someplace warm.
Streetlink can be contacted via their website: https://streetlink.org.uk or phone 0300 5000914.
As the weather is exceptionally cold at this time, The Buckingham Council says this is a matter of urgency.
Being homeless can lead to a severe deterioration in a person’s health and well-being – and even death.
According to the statistics provided by The Crisis, “life expectancy of a rough sleeper is significantly reduced; to between 42 and 47 years old, depending on gender.”
There have been more homeless people seen in Buckingham which has raised calls for assistance, especially on Facebook pages in recent times.
