COLD WEATHER PROVISION
Just to let everyone know that due to the Cold Weather, we are running Winter Provisions until and including Friday night 3 Feb. Should the Cold Weather continue below zero over the weekend, then this will be extended. Please see the attached protocol which was distributed earlier this year. We have identified as many people as possible currently sleeping rough and made appropriate offers of accommodation for the severe weather period. Please be aware that some people have refused an offer, but we will continue to approach where we can on a daily basis.
If you are aware of anyone sleeping rough, who might not have been approached by us, or St Petrocks please contact SHOT in the first instance. If it is out of hours, please follow the protocol and contact either the Police or the council out of hours number.
Many thanks

The Mint supports the above hostel for homeless people with gifts of household items and bedding.
In addition this winter we have offered some help in the evenings with preparing the room for a few men to sleep when the weather is cold (ie. Below zero for 3 nights on the run). We are being asked to volunteer on a rota from 8pm to 10pm, not for any specific dates yet. For more information contact Viv Davies on 01392 431 628
