Rough sleeping in the UK remains alarmingly high, with thousands of people still without a safe place to stay each night. In June 2025, an estimated 8,732 people were sleeping rough, a 13% increase since March and 5% higher than the same time last year, according to the Rough Sleeping Data Framework.
This conference brings together people from across the homelessness sector to look at how we can change this picture. We’ll explore the government's new homelessness strategy, The National Plan to End Homelessness, and share practical approaches to preventing rough sleeping and what's working in reducing long-term homelessness.
What to expect
Join us for a day of learning, discussion and connection, with inspiring speakers, panel sessions and interactive workshops. Together, we’ll focus on:
- Understanding what the new National Plan to End Homelessness means in practice
- Sharing what’s working to prevent rough sleeping and long-term homelessness
- Learning from organisations across the country having an impact on reducing rough sleeping
- Exploring practical ways to better support people who are sleeping rough
- Connecting with others who are committed to ending rough sleeping
