St Petrocs awarded Homeless Link Excellence Award

We are delighted to share that we have been awarded the Homeless Link Excellence Award for Workforce Development!  

Homeless Link is the national membership charity for frontline homelessness organisations, and its annual awards recognise the innovative and impactful work happening across the sector to support people experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping in England.

We were  selected from 115 entries to the Excellence Awards across the five categories, 29 of which were shortlisted. The Workforce Development Award celebrates organisations who prioritise professional growth and wellbeing of their staff. 

As a member of Homeless Link, we were delighted to receive the award from such a well-established organisation. At St Petrocs, we’ve built a compassionate, ambitious and resilient organisation that supports both its people and its mission, through our strategy, “St Petrocs: Including, Valuing and Growing”. 

“I’m extremely proud that St Petrocs has been recognised with this award. We believe that our greatest strength is our people, and we work hard to nurture a culture where everyone feels included, valued, and supported to grow. By investing in the development and welfare of our team, we’re not just making St Petrocs a great place to work – we’re strengthening our ability to meet the complex and varied needs of people experiencing homelessness in Cornwall."

- Tom Beaumont, Director of People and Culture. 

“We are thrilled that our values-led approach to building a positive working culture has been recognised by this national award.  Ending homelessness will take determined and collective effort from all parts of society.  Developing a compassionate, purpose-driven and resilient organisation that supports its people to make a beneficial impact is how we believe we can play our part in this bold ambition.”

- Henry Meacock, Chief Executive. 

To be able to be work toward our ambition to end homelessness in Cornwall, St Petrocs is committed to develop the best workforce, leaders and to be the best place to work.
