Vagus SOS

The application allows you to report the location of a homeless person.

By using Vagus SOS in Bratislava, you can save lives and provide professional help to

homeless people. Your reports will help to solve the problem where emergency

rescue or police cannot help to a person on the street unless he has an acute illness

or injury. These are the situations where social workers of the civic association Vagus

are able to help. Professional social workers have the possibility to transport men to

a shelter, ensure surviving the night without any risk or provide long-term social

service to improve the social situation of homeless people.

APPLICATION is not a substitute for the medical emergency services and only works

in the city BRATISLAVA.

Received reports will be evaluated in a few minutes by Vagus staff during their

service (Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 21:00 and Saturday from 17:00 to 21:00).

If the reported situation of a person is critical, Vagus team will immediately go to the

site and provide social counseling, transport to shelter or warm tea, blanket and

food.

The application also allows direct calls to field social workers 0949/655555 for acute

situations on the service hours.

Less acute reports or reports received out of service hours will be solved by Vagus

field workers later. All solved reports will be displayed to the reporter via the

notification in the app.

In the menu, you will also find a practical list of most of the services for helping

homeless people in Bratislava, as well as advice on donating financial or material

assistance, or how to help voluntarily to homeless people.

The application was created through a pro bono partnership between Appoxide Lab

studio and civic association Vagus.
