A first port of call for anyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in South Yorkshire.

To get started please select a region from above or search for service below.

This Survival Guide is designed as a first port of call for anyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in South Yorkshire. It provides information on finding accommodation, food, health, other support and amenities in the Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham areas. We have tried to create a comprehensive guide to all homeless services available in the area and give you contact details to get the support you need.

The guide includes many types of organisation, some of which you can attend as a drop-in without an appointment, some require an appointment and some you may only access with a referral from an agency such as Citizens’ Advice or health care professionals. If you have questions regarding any of the services, then use the contact details provided in this guide to seek answers and advice. If you contact a service in this guide and they are unable to help you in the first instance, then it is likely that they will re-direct you to somewhere that can.
