The Government is encouraging the introduction of Covid-secure marshals to help support our high streets and public spaces, making sure that people feel safe to enjoy them. Details will be published in due course, including any plans for guidance.<\/p>

We have worked closely with local authorities who have already deployed marshals in order to develop our approach when rolling out this policy. For example, in Leeds City Council marshals supported reopening of non-essential retail and the reopening of the hospitality sector, whilst in Cornwall, marshals helped in the \u2018Safer Summer\u2019 scheme at the busiest times of day to give friendly help and guidance to those visiting and working in towns.<\/p>

Charities, and the thousands of people who volunteer with them, make a real difference to vulnerable people\u2019s lives. We all need to work together to break the homelessness cycle and we are committed to drawing on as much expertise and experience as we can. Many of the projects we fund involve joint working with voluntary organisations as delivery partners, and in response to Covid-19 we have worked in partnership with the voluntary sector and faith and community groups.<\/p>

MHCLG announced £6 million of emergency funding to provide relief for frontline homelessness charitable organisations who are directly affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. This is part of a £750 million package of government support for UK charities who may have been impacted by the pandemic. This Covid-19 Homelessness Response Fund was delivered by Homeless Link and applications closed on Wednesday 27 May.<\/p>

Following a successful bidding process, over 130 charities across England benefitted from the £6 million emergency Fund. Further detail regarding the organisations who have been funded can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/charities-to-benefit-from-support-for-rough-sleepers-during-pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>

The Department also funds work to support a wide range of the homelessness sector \u2013 including voluntary organisations and independent providers of learning:<\/p>
