Just saw this and didn't know it existed, so I want to share it.
Anyone who is living in England and Wales can report someone who is rough sleeping and then that person will be found and a bed found for them.
This is clearly not a permanent solution to homelessness, but it could prevent someone from freezing to death in the streets. I'd really like it if there were none of those stories this winter...
So, if you live in England and Wales and see a rough sleeper... report it at this link:

It won't let me have a blank signature ...
