We sometimes compare St Petrock’s #homelessness centre to a ‘tardis’ - it may look small from the outside, but a lot of life-changing work goes on inside. Find out more about the work of our centre in our Winter Newsletter at buff.ly/4f05C70

Can you imagine how it feels to be homeless? Our 2024 Christmas work for @StPetrocks explores that feeling using a poem written by an ex-client. Please watch and if you can donate to this most excellent local charity. (sound on)

The physical hardships of #homelessness are self-evident – but often it’s the hidden stories of family breakdown, trauma, loneliness, & loss of hope that are hardest to bear. #Exeter #homelessness #charity buff.ly/496DDRT

Miserable day to be waking up in a sleepingbag, doorway or tent. St P’s mobile outreach team have been busy taking food & hot drinks to people on #Exeter’s streets. Cold, wet people & dogs warming up in our centre with showers, blankets & warm clothes. buff.ly/496DDRT

Great to have people from across the #Exeter community with us @thehallexeter for the launch our #Christmas2024 video. The powerful video, produced by the wonderful @AllTold, helps show the difficult reality of family breakdown & life without a home: buff.ly/496DDRT

Tonight @StPetrocks launch their Christmas appeal. Nightly 30-35 people sleep rough in Exeter. Maybe more. Women & Forces veterans are more hidden. St P supports 360+ people a year. They've bought a house - for 23 pple unable to afford Exeter's high rents Stpetrockschristmas.org.uk

HUGE thank you to Tipton St John Primary School, Church & partners for a truly whopping #harvest collection. A real pleasure to meet some of the pupils, show them around our #homelessness centre and see their real engagement and concern for people without a home. #community

StP's is delighted to welcome the new Bishop of #Exeter, Rt Rev Dr Mike Harrison, as our new Patron. Bishop Mike’s appointment as Patron to represent the local faith community follows that of MP Steve Race, earlier in the year to represent the civic community. @cofedevon #charity
