Richard, one of our homeless clients, is sleeping rough in and around #Exeter

This is his third brief film after a tough few days...

What a remarkable support AB Brand and Marketing have been to us (and still are!), donating their time and expertise for free to help us with fundraising to support homeless people in and around Exeter. We really appreciate all their hard work on our behalf.

Our fantastic HILL students recently donated to St Petrock's.

As part of their course, they created a documentary on loneliness and community. They cooked food for the homeless individuals supported by St Petrock's. Well done, everyone.

A ladies' knitting team from the Isle of Wight has donated 3 boxes of stunning woollen hats and thick socks for our homeless clients, accompanied with thoughtful gift tags.

Here's Rolandas, one of our lovely homeless clients, modelling the knitwear, in yesterday's sunshine!

Thank you so much for taking part in #StPetrocksBigNightOut Lee!

We really do appreciate it. With your help, we have raised around £4500 for our services to support rough sleepers and those who are vulnerably housed.

My reflections on having slept in my shed as part of St Petrock's #BigNightOut

(PS. It's not too late to make a contribution at

Huge thank you to everyone who slept out for our first #BigNightOut - in sheds, tents, on floors, under tarpaulins, in sand dunes, a car in a layby, a treehouse & an old dovecote. The event raised £4,500+ for StP’s vital homelessness survival services buff.ly/3U2m26l

Only 24 hrs until #StPetrocksBigNightOut .
Around 14 groups are gearing up for a slightly uncomfortable night – in sheds, cars, yards, beach & a treehouse!
It’s not (quite) too late to join in: buff.ly/3VVKFUP to help raise funds and awareness for people without a home

Rain’s miserable for all, especially if sleeping out. Lots of damp chilly people drying out in StP’s centre–stocks of men’s waterproof coats are desperately low (& coffee!) Can you help by donating at our centre (Mon-Fri 8am-3pm) or from our Wishlist buff.ly/3N2iZYe?

On Friday 12th April I'll be sleeping in my shed for St Petrock's #BigNightOut to raise funds to support #homeless people in Exeter.

Please come and join me! Not I'm my shed obvs, but join the Big Night Out at a venue of your choice. Deets at stpetrocks.org.uk

St Petrock's I will be sleeping out to raise money for St Petrock's

Thread on #CriminalJusticeBill : Good to speak with Andy Ballantyne just now about the dreadful proposals from Government to further criminalise #RoughSleeping . Not only have they failed to deliver the promise to end rough sleeping, they now aim to criminalise those they have failed.
