Church groups step in to help out rough sleepers
 2010: Church groups in Norfolk have stepped in to give a rising number of rough sleepers camping out in Thetford a roof over their heads on freezing nights as officials try to address the growing problem.
Five rough sleepers were taken in on Tuesday on the first night of a new scheme by the Salvation Army and Thetford Churches Together as temperatures dipped below zero.
The offer of a bed and hot meal was offered as part of a severe weather action plan being put together by Breckland Council.
The plan aims to prevent anybody sleeping rough in the district when the temperature is predicted to drop to zero degrees centigrade or below in the district over three days.
It comes in the wake of the death of Mariusz Fidos, 33, from Poland, in December of suspected hypothermia when he was sleeping in a tent at Barnham Common in Thetford.
