Contact our Connected Communities team if you're concerned about a vulnerable person.
Support for rough sleepers during hot weather
The Greater London Authority provided guidance to local authorities on what should happen during severe weather. The Severe Weather Emergency Protocol sets out the support for rough sleepers in periods of extreme weather, including the provision of shelter. Find out what you can do in hot weather if you're rough sleeping.
Cool spaces and free water refills
Cool spaces are indoor and outdoor areas where Londoners can cool down on hot days.
Find a venue in Haringey where you can go to cool down.
See refill.org.uk for where you can refill your water bottle for free.
Power cuts
Power cuts are more likely to happen during a heatwave due to the increased pressure put on the national grid.
Find more information on what to do in a power cut and how you may be able to receive additional support.
