An amber heat health alert has been issued for London with temperatures set to climb as high as 32C by the weekend.

We are preparing to support rough sleepers most affected by this potential heat wave.

With temperatures due to rise to 32C, we are working to ensure rough sleepers have access to the support and advice they need to stay safe. Our Outreach teams in Kingston, Richmond and Wandsworth are carrying out extra visits to known rough sleeping hotspots, and will offer water and sunscreen to anyone sleeping on the streets.

If you have concerns about a rough sleeper, please contact Streetlink. In an emergency, please call 999.

For anyone who is vulnerable and at risk from the hot weather, there is advice on how to stay safe and get help if needed on the NHS website.
