For the first time this year, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has implemented a new strategy that will protect homeless people from the harsh and cold climate this winter.

The pan-London Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) was activated by the London Mayor today and will see emergency accommodation opened by councils across the England capital and homelessness charities.
