Due to the high temperatures in Bristol, Heat-SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) will be activated from today (Saturday 4th July). The St Mungo's Street Outreach team will be out on the street covering extra shifts offering water, sunscreen and harm reduction advice to people sleeping rough. It’s worth noting that Heat-SWEP does not come with an accommodation offer but we encourage people to access cool spaces away from the heat during the day. 

See the below link for some guidance on who is most at risk from the heat and the best advice to give people in hot weather: 

Hot weather advice

 A reminder that StreetLink is not an emergency service and if someone is in immediate danger, please call 999.

 The team will announce when Heat-SWEP has been deactivated across the city or if there is an escalation in their response.
