I'm Sam I work for Coventry City Council Rough Sleepers Team and I'm Fadhila I work for the Coventry Rough Sleepers Team as well.

So we do five mornings a week going out at various different times.

We've been to various locations. So we picked up the streetlinks that were sent to us which were predominantly tower blocks, we've been to Bell Green and Canley and then we've come into the city centre.

So we speak to people, ask them to come back into JCT which is where we can help them look at housing assessments we also make sure just people are okay.

We carry a Naloxone kit just in case we have overdoses but really is just communicating with people and asking them if they need support and how we can get them that support. I like that we help people the best way we can.

We link in with other services. So we work close with CGL. So let us know where Rough Sleepers are so you can use Street link, go to steps for change, pop to JCT. If we know where they are we can go out and help people.
