Phone by Ozzy Delaney

A new phone app tdesigned to help homeless people get the help they need will be launched in Portsmouth next week.

The Street Support Network, who developed the app, say that its mission is to make it easier for people to collaborate, co-ordinate and provide better support for people experiencing homelessness, and make it easier for citizens and business to do something to help.

The app is already used in Manchester, Leeds and Bournemouth and on Tuesday at 11:30 am Portsmouth will get its own. The app will be officially launched in the John Pounds Centre, 23 Queen St, Portsmouth, PO1 3HN.

After it is launched, the app will be available from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
