SWEP activation
Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) is being triggered in Arun from Wednesday 1 November at 6pm until Friday
3 November at 7:30am due to the Met Office weather warnings for storms in the area and flooding.
All rough sleepers in Arun who have no alternative option for these nights can access a SWEP bed if they need to. For more information on how to access SWEP, rough sleepers should approach Arun’s Housing Options Team either by telephone on 01903 737552 or by attending the offices at either Bognor Regis Town Hall or the Civic Centre in Littlehampton.
Those needing shelter will be given details of where and how to access services that night. People who need to access the service outside of these hours should contact the out of hours team on 01903 737500 for a referral and information.
If you are worried about someone who is rough-sleeping, please use the Streetlink app or this link https://www.streetlink.org.uk/# to report your concerns which will be sent directly to our outreach services who will try to find individuals and notify them of their options.
Those who access the service will be provided with a hot meal, drinks, snacks, and showers/washing facilities as well as support with seeking longer term accommodation options.
