As winter approaches, Sheffield has a network of Welcome Places where you can go to stay warm and safe, and get support, shown on this useful map of street level groups and community hubs collected by Voluntary Action Sheffield.

There is also a Community Helpline provided by Sheffield City Council to support anyone struggling with the cost of bills or essentials like food: call 0114 2734567. The Council’s Cost of Living webpage has other resources.

For housing with damp, mould, and condensation problems there is information on how to help prevent and manage damp, mould, and condensation. And damp or mould in a council or private rented property can be reported online here.

Homelessness support and advice is available for people who sleep rough or are at risk, including Sheffield Street Outreach Service which helps people find accommodation and support. During extremely cold weather, overnight accommodation is offered. Details are online here, including how to help if you are concerned about someone else sleeping rough.
