For the third year Eden is hosting a Sleepout event raising awareness about homelessness in Cornwall and Devon which continues to be the region with the highest numbers of homeless and rough sleepers outside London. The event raises much need funds for St Petrocs and the Amber Foundation. It is not about replicating what a homeless person experiences, you can't do that in one night, but it is a symbolic exercise in social responsibility and acknowledging some of the hidden issues in our communities. The previous years have seen clients from both St Petrocs and the Amber Foundation telling their stories and breaking some go the misconceptions abut how people find themselves isolated, penniless and and on the streets.
