Homeless Shelters/ Hostels open at weekends??

[ediesedgwick 10]

I've seen the other thread about homeless shelters but nobody has mentioned anything, so...

 

I have made a new friend called Neil who sits in the tunnell on the end of Ecclesall Rd during the day and he was saying that at the weekends he has to go to the general cemetery or up near Crosspool woods if he wants to go to sleep without getting beaten up.

 

Are there actually no shelters/ hostels/ centres that people can go to at the weekends rather than having to either stay awake all weekend or sleep in the cemetery?

 

I've googled it etc but I'm so surprised that there isn't anywhere open at the weekend, it's very dangerous.

You contacted the Archer Project? They will know which hostels are available

Take him to Howden House, 1 Union Street, S1 2SH & see if he can get a council home.

Give the Emmaus project a ring and they may be able to help and advise

Adult male, not classed as vulnerable - no entitlement to help. Unless can prove some mental health problem (perhaps resulting from being homeless).

Woodhouse probably better, Sally Army turns people away when full and often full, they do hand out blankets to the people they turn away though.
