Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, GB People's Pods
Ten single-occupancy pods were installed at Shadsworth Leisure Centre to serve homeless residents. Each pod includes a keycode lock, shower facilities, desk, and bed. The pod cluster is served throughout the week by council staff and Inspire Drug and Alcohol Service. Temporary residents are also protected by around-the-clock security. Council leaders invested in People's Pods to protect more rough sleepers from the dangers of cold weather and COVID-19.
