Encouraging people to get involved helping people who beg and sleep rough in Sheffield.

See our Covid-19 statement about Sheffield services here.

People find themselves rough sleeping or begging for many different reasons, including bad luck. Their needs are varied and complex.

Help Us Help is run by local charities, the city council, a residents group and other services. 

In October 2020, Sheffield City Council and partners carried out a survey with rough sleepers to find out how we can improve services for them. Hearing their voices means that we can see how rough sleeping can affect all areas of a person’s life. Read the short report here, the longer report here, or watch our video to find out more.

Watch our video to find out more about the partnership work we do in the city and see a list of organisations involved in Help Us Help.
