Petition Action

Government must act to help rough sleepers this winter

Petition Details

Homelessness and rough sleeping have more than doubled since 2010. Many of those sleeping on the streets have learning disabilities and mental health problems, since the government has cut benefits and frontline services. We need new services and funding to stop more suffering and deaths this winter

Additional Information

Government statistics for rough sleeping in England show an increase from 1,768 in 2010 to 3,569 in 2015.
