SWEP provision in place
SWEP is being triggered in Arun from Tuesday 7 March 2023 7pm until Thursday 9 March 2023 8am, due to the Met Office predicting a drop in temperatures during these dates.
All rough sleepers in Arun who have no alternative option for these nights can access a SWEP bed should they need to.
To access SWEP, rough sleepers need to contact our 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, for an assessment of needs and an instant referral into SWEP.
Clients will then be given details of where and how to access services that night. Clients who need to access the service outside of these hours will need to contact the out of hours team on 01903 737500 for a referral and information on how/where to access.
If you are concerned 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 the provision.
Clients who access the service will be provided with a hot meal, drinks, snacks, showers/washing facilities as well as support with seeking longer term accommodation options.
