Heatwave Hits Liverpool’s Homeless

Liverpool’s city council has activated its Severe Weather Emergency Protocol as a dangerous heatwave grips the city, ramping up outreach to vulnerable homeless residents with cooling centers, hydration stations, and emergency shelter. With the Met Office warning the heat will linger, the city is partnering with The Whitechapel Centre to combat rising risks — especially for those without shelter. Steven Moore, homeless for four months, shared how he’s resorting to pubs for cold water and even lost his socks to the heat, leaving his feet raw. Data shows over 150 people slept rough last December, and the homelessness helpline received nearly 2,000 calls — underscoring the urgency. Heatstroke and exhaustion are life-threatening, and recognizing symptoms like confusion or fainting could save lives — making public awareness and quick action critical.
