Report rough sleeping

Report someone sleeping rough

If you’re concerned about someone who may be sleeping rough in Cheshire West and Chester, you can let us know by submitting a report through Street Link. This helps our Outreach Team locate the person and offer support as quickly as possible.

When making a report, please include as much information as you can about the person and their location. This enables Outreach to check on their welfare and connect them with local support services.

If you believe someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical help, please call 999.

If you are a rough sleeper

If you are sleeping rough, please contact our Housing Options Team so we can understand your situation and offer support. We can talk to you about your safety, your housing needs, and the options available to help you move away from the streets.

The Forum Outreach Team provides the outreach support work across Cheshire West and Chester on behalf of the council. The team will be out during the early mornings and evenings to find and support people who are rough sleeping. If you are currently sleeping outside, you can also make yourself known to Outreach Workers when they are in your area.

You can also report your location to Street Link, or send an email to outreach@forumhousing.co.uk letting them know where you are which will help the team find you and offer support as quickly as possible.
