Grants & Funding

Grants provide opportunities. They not only help us to keep our services open, but enable innovation and new ways of working with our clients.

St Petrocs is an independent charity with no commissioned services.  Whilst some residential housing costs are paid for by the state, all support activities are funded by charitable means, either through grants such as this from charitable funds or through fundraising activities and donations. 

Grants are an essential source of income for St Petrocs and offer huge support to us by providing financial assistance, enabling us to not only continue to deliver our work to people in our society who are more exposed to vulnerability, but to use new and innovative ways to refine, and respond with adaptations to our services. 

Thank you to every funder who has enabled our work towards our ambition to end homelessness.
