For women, sleeping on the streets can be extremely dangerous.
One woman who uses St Petrocs’ services, but did not want to be identified, said: “It’s scary.
“You have to stay awake, you don’t know if someone will burn your tent, you don’t know who might hurt you; you could get murdered, raped.”
St Petrocs runs two community-based resource centres in Truro and Penzance.
These provide tailored housing advice and guidance, access to a GP, toilets, shower facilities, hot food, hot beverages, a postal service, bedding, clothing and access to volunteer-led activities.
