(WHEN DONATING, PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO TICK BOTH BOXES FOR GIFT AID TO APPLY)
We would be extremely grateful for all donations to The Saint Petroc’s Society, Cornwall. This is a charity close to our hearts as Richard’s late father was the secretary for some years. It does a fantastic job helping the homeless of Cornwall- a county which suffers high levels of poverty and need.
St Petroc’s Society was the first organisation in Cornwall to provide accommodation and housing related support services to meet the needs of the single homeless. Formed in 1986 at the instigation of the Bishop of St Germans, it has considerable support from all the churches, local communities and dedicated groups of ‘Friends’.
The services offered are in no way a solution to the problems faced on a day by day basis by homeless people living on the streets of Cornwall. Instead they give much needed breathing space to some of the most vulnerable people in Cornwall. They give hope and much needed support to ensure that every opportunity is given to everyone who wishes to take that first step back into the community.
