Safer off the Streets Peterborough Partnership

What to expect

Safer Off the Streets works with partner organisations in a variety of ways for the benefit of people who are homeless or sleeping rough in Peterborough.

They maintain a website with details of the services and support partners offer, so the information is in one place. People can search for what they need whether they are homeless (or at risk of homelessness), or if someone  - whether a friend, family member or professional - wants to help someone who is homeless. Start by visiting this page. Types of support they can help you find include:

• Accommodation Support
• Addiction
• Advice & Financial
• Clothing & Personal Items
• Day Time Drop In
• Ex-Offender Support
• Food Supplies
• Haircuts
• Health
• Help For Pets
• Home Essentials
• Hot Meals
• Phone & Internet
• Refugee Support
• Showers
• Women's Support

For people in temporary accommodation, or in general for those who would like developmental support to move forward with independent living, their 'Development Support' database on this page helps you find organisations who offer specialist support such as:

• Benefits
• Digital
• Employment
• Foundation Maths
• Living Independently
• Language
• Literacy
• Developing a sense of community

Additionally, they provide information to the general public and corporate organisations as to the best way to support people experiencing homelessness, for the benefit of their wellbeing.
