During periods of severe cold weather, additional emergency accommodation is provided by councils. This winter, we are aiming to provide A Bed Every Night for people who are rough sleeping in Greater Manchester. Find out more at streetsupport.net/gm.
Rochdale Borough Council takes a flexible and inclusive approach to the offer of assistance during severe weather taking into account the impact of wind chill, rain, snow and heat, and therefore ‘SWEP’ will be activated throughout December - March (reviewed weekly).
