GROUPS working to tackle homelessness are trying to make sure winter support and Christmas dinners are still available despite the pandemic. During the winter, Oxford City Council usually activates its severe weather emergency protocol (SWEP) to get rough sleepers into temporary shelter. And at the same time, charities usually offer extra food for rough sleepers or company for the lonely. But the pandemic has made this more difficult in 2020. The Oxfordshire Homeless Movement is co-ordinating efforts between these groups to tackle rough sleeping while navigating the difficulties of the coronavirus. The movement is also appealing for public help to continue its work.
