2020/21, a very challenging time. With events cancelled and many charity shops closed, with council support for essential social services running on low, with gaping holes in safety nets and the mushrooming of volunteer food-banks, organisations like St Petrocs are beacons of hope for many. For the past seven years we've walked a camino, but 2021 is totally different. It has however offered us the perfect opportunity to raise money and awareness of UK homelessness.
Everyone, every single person, regardless of their circumstances, needs a place to call home, a room, a bed, access to food and warmth, somewhere to reboot and to plot a path forward. St Petrocs are fantastic facilitators for people, living rough on Cornwall’s streets, who’ve temporarily hit rock bottom.
update Feb 15th : we’re hugely grateful to friends, family and followers who have helped us exceed our £5k goal. Thank you all so much! This is a tremendous boost for St Petrocs 2020/21 Winter Appeal. For each night we camped out throughout January, £200 was pledged. In real terms, for every night the two of us spent in our two man tent, you funded emergency shelter for 6 rough sleepers, providing a warm, dry bed in a safe environment. Having since packed away our tent we’ve continued walking local loops, aiming to reach our virtual destination of John o’Groats by the end of February. If you’d like to support us there is no limit to how much we raise - St Petrocs will put every penny received from this page towards their effort to end street homelessness in Cornwall.
This local giving page will remain active for further donations until the end of March. Please continue to give ❤️
