No one should have to sleep rough in this day and age. St Petrocs do wonderful work to help those who need help and assistance, please help support the work they do, even a few pound can make a difference. Based on Government figures, Cornwall is the fifth highest area in the UK for numbers of rough sleepers. Most are either from Cornwall or have lived and worked in the county for a significant time. Others travel to the county fleeing violence or in search of employment and a fresh start. For many, the county is simply the end of the line on the train. A large majority of rough sleepers are young and male, many of whom have suffered a relationship breakdown or lost employment. Some may have drug, alcohol or mental health problems. Some are offenders, and an increasing number of former service personnel are being seen. Women account for approximately 20% of rough sleepers. All homeless people are vulnerable.
