But Manchester\u2019s rough sleepers face even harsher conditions.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Making sure they survive through the bitterly cold nights, organisations such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/teams\/coffee4craig\">Coffee4Craig<\/a> offer a lifeline to the city\u2019s homeless.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Hosting up to 150 homeless people per day, Coffee4Craig is a seven day-a-week drop-in centre run by an expanding group of volunteers who feed and offer advice to rough sleepers. <\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Risha Lancaster set up the charity following the death of her brother in 2013.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">She said: \u201cMy brother was on the street for about four years due to a relationship break down and mental health issues. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. I didn\u2019t know he was homeless because he was such a proud man. Then he died of a heroin overdose in a car park, so we started Coffee4Craig about three days later.\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Usually, people are referred in by the council on a first-come, first-served basis but as soon as temperatures hit zeros, emergency provisions kick in and teams from Coffee4Craig hit the streets to make sure that every rough sleeper receives a hot meal and a bed for the night, regardless of when they turn up.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Nathalie Delahaye, director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.witharoar.com\/\">Roar Pursuits<\/a>, a charity focussing on the root causes of homelessness says that the weather does not change the hardships soup kitchens and homeless shelters face. She said: \u201cIn this weather a roof over your head, can literally mean the difference between life and death but I wouldn\u2019t say that the cold changes what happens at shelters or soup kitchens, there\u2019s a daily struggle all year round.\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Coun Bernard Priest, deputy leader of Manchester City Council, said: \u201cThere is support available for people all year round to help them off the streets and it\u2019s especially important that people are aware of the additional shelter available in these severe weather conditions.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">\u201cWe would urge people to follow this advice to get out of the cold and into the warm shelters provided by the council and its partners.\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">When the weather hits freezing no one is turned away, so if you see someone in a doorway, or who clearly is rough sleeping please direct them to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/streetsupport.net\/manchester\/severe-weather-accommodation\/\">http:\/\/streetsupport.net\/manchester\/severe-weather-accommodation\/<\/a> where all the information can be accessed or call <a href=\"tel:0161%20234%205339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;\">&nbsp;234 5339<\/span><\/a><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the city is hit by the \u2018Beast from the East\u2019, schools are closed, trains delayed, and commuters struggle through the plummeting temperatures.
