231110寒冬来袭！伦敦用这种方式帮助市民扛过冬天

With the winter season fast approaching, city councillors gave the green light on Tuesday to the city's plan to help London's most vulnerable through the colder months.
The plan, dubbed the community cold weather response, will see the city pay $2.16 million to six local agencies to provide day and overnight drop-in services and outreach programs into the spring.
