Check in on others during severe weather

Severe weather can be particularly difficult for older people, those with health conditions and anyone who’s isolated.

Check in on relatives, friends and neighbours who may need extra support, and make sure they’re warm, well and have the essentials they need.

If you’re concerned about someone sleeping rough during severe weather, contact us on 0300 123 2224, or 0300 123 2327 after 5pm, at weekends or on bank holidays.

You can also report their location through StreetLink to help connect them with local outreach services.

Somerset Frontline can help you find local services offering support with financial hardship, living costs, housing and wellbeing.
