00:00 If you want to help someone on the streets during freezing weather, here are four things
00:09 you can do.
00:10 1. Ask if they need anything. You could help them keep warm with things like hot food and
00:15 drinks, warm clothes or blankets.
00:18 2. Contact the local council. They should take special steps to help people in extreme
00:22 weather and they can help find somewhere for them to stay.
00:25 3. Register on the StreetLink website to tell outreach services where they are and what
00:30 they look like.
00:31 If the person needs urgent medical help, call 999.
00:34 4. Find a day centre on the HomelessLink website. Day centres can provide food, showers and
00:40 warmth during the day.
