£65,000 Boost to Tackle Rough Sleeping

I'm proud to share that our Labour government has awarded Wakefield Council an additional £65,000 to help tackle rough sleeping across the district.

This funding is part of our national commitment to supporting the most vulnerable in our communities. After rough sleeping rose by a staggering 120% between 2010 and 2024, this investment marks a clear break from the neglect of the past.

We are turning the page. By giving councils the resources they need, Labour is putting compassion and action at the heart of our approach to homelessness.
