St Mungos, the support charity for homeless persons has opened additional shelters for the cold weather.

They’re asking for Londoners (and Bristolians and Readingites) to let them know if you see people sleeping rough in the Winter weather so they can send out an outreach team.

Phone 0870 3833333
Email [email protected]

Or call an ambulance or the police at 999 if a life is threatened.

And kicking in £25 to St Mungos wouldn’t be amiss, either.
