As temperatures plummet over the next few days, Mendip's Severe Weather Emergency Provision will be activated to help those sleeping rough.

During periods of extreme weather, the Connect Outreach Team, based at the Elim Connect Centre in Wells, work closely with the district council to provide shelter for those who need it.

Due to predictions of sub-zero temperatures, shelter will be provided on March 31 and April 1, 2 and 3.

Anyone who needs help should call 01749 677097 / 670097. Or you can help connect rough sleepers to local services by visiting the Street Link website
