St Petrocs Impact Report 2024

Operating resource centres in Truro and Penzance alongside outreach, emergency and supported accommodation, the charity ended homelessness for 537 people in 2024, with 346 living in St Petrocs homes. In a county where holiday lets continue to squeeze affordable housing supply, St Petrocs provides a vital safety net — including specialist GP access — for people with no statutory entitlement to support.
