"Women are under-represented in rough sleeping statistics and provision, yet research, lived experience, and the experiences of services tell us that women are some of the most vulnerable within the rough sleeping population" - Solace Women's Aid

This week our Luna Project team are taking part in the 2026 Women's Rough Sleeping Census across Enfield and Haringey. The women's census project was started in North London 5 years ago by SHP and Solace, but is now being done in boroughs across the whole country.

Throughout this week, our Luna team have been carrying out additional street outreach, taking on shifts starting at 5am and others that end at midnight. We are aiming to find as many women as possible who are experiencing homelessness in different forms – rough sleeping, sofa surfing, walking around all night, sleeping in train stations or McDonalds, or staying with unsafe people in exchange for a bed.

As well as reaching women who may need help, this kind of research helps to build a clearer picture of the true scale of the issue of women's homelessness. Accurate data means we can do things like advocate for more funding and create services which meet the real need.

We're proud to be contributing our local knowledge and experience through The Luna Project, helping ensure women experiencing homelessness in Enfield and Haringey are counted.

The aim of our new Luna Project Team is to respond to both immediate needs on the street, whilst building consistent and trusted relationships that enable women to come and access housing, advice, healthcare, substance misuse services, and through APAP's day centre provision.

This specialist service is helping to reach women who are often less visible within traditional homelessness services, ensuring they have access to practical support, advocacy and opportunities to move towards safety and stability.

To support Alcohol Awareness Week, we asked Aji from one of our partner organisations, Enable Drugs & Alcohol Treatment Services Enfield, to speak about the work they do with APAP to support our clients.

"Alcohol Awareness Week:
Support Without Judgement

Alcohol can play many different roles in people's lives. For some, it may be a way of coping with difficult emotions, trauma, loss, poor mental health, homelessness, isolation, or overwhelming life circumstances. Understanding the reasons behind alcohol use is just as important as understanding the impact it may have.

At Enable, we recognise that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. We take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, meeting people where they are and supporting them without judgement or stigma. Whether someone wants to reduce their drinking, manage withdrawal safely, maintain changes they have already made, or work towards abstinence, support is available.

Many people avoid seeking help because they fear being judged or believe they need to be "ready" to stop drinking completely before accessing support. This is simply not the case. Every conversation about alcohol matters, and every step towards change—no matter how small—is significant.

Our partnership work with organisations such as All People All Places ensures that individuals experiencing multiple disadvantages, including homelessness and complex needs, can access support that is person-centred, flexible, and responsive. By working together, we aim to create safe spaces where people feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing.

If alcohol is affecting you or someone you know, please remember that support is available. You do not have to face it alone, and there is no wrong time to ask for help.

Recovery starts with a conversation, and that conversation will always be met with understanding, dignity, and respect."

The severe hot weather we’re currently experiencing can be extremely dangerous – even life-threatening for people sleeping rough.

People experiencing homelessness often don’t have easy access to shade, cool indoor spaces, drinking water, showers, or sun protection. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can increase the risk of dehydration, sunburn, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

If you’d like to help someone sleeping rough during hot weather, here are some simple ways you can make a difference:

💦 help them stay hydrated and cool by offering them a cold bottle of water - if you can freeze some bottles and give them out as a cooling aid, even better.

☀ offer sunscreen or other protection from the sun. Umbrellas or hats can provide effective shade.

🚿 provide some baby wipes or other means of freshening up. Without somewhere to wash, existing in this sweaty weather can be seriously uncomfortable!

🕍 share directions to any cool local shady spaces including libraries, day centres, or faith groups.

❗heatstroke is a risk. Signs of heatstroke include seizures, confusion, and loss of consciousness. If you can, help them to somewhere cool and hydrate them. If you are seriously concerned about someone's medical welfare, call an ambulance

👋 most importantly, check in with people you see struggling on the streets. Just engaging with them is meaningful and asking what they need will be appreciated.

APAP's day centre in Pymmes Park is open Tuesday to Thursday and can provide the essentials like water and sun cream for staying safe during periods of extreme heat.

If you see someone sleeping rough and are concerned about their welfare, please contact StreetLink (www.streetlink.org) so local outreach teams can offer support.
