Rough sleepers and rough weather in Vincent Square

Rough Sleeping

The pandemic persuaded more rough sleepers to come in and get help. 

The Council's offer, says Cllr David Harvey "made night after night with our charity partners, includes housing, medical help and a road back to stability." 

Last week’s national street count showed 188 sleeping rough across Westminster, about 80 down from last year. However, there are some who won’t accept help, even in severe weather.

If you want to help us to help to a rough sleeper, you can find out how here or donate to local charities here.
