Christmas. For most of us, a time for families, for friends, for laughter, for celebration, for a little bit of festive excess!

But for those living on the streets in our city, it is just another day to get through. Cold, often wet, lonely, fearful, often abused. Another day of painful memories of families lost, of childhoods marred by neglect or worse, of fear for what tonight may bring. A day in which everyone else’s happiness only heightens a sense of alone-ness.

But on Christmas day, St Petrock’s will be serving the city’s rough sleepers a hot meal (Christmas dinner of course, with all the trimmings!) from their Centre in Cathedral Green, as they do throughout the year. And as they do every weekday throughout the year, our Outreach Team will scour the city’s streets to find those with nowhere to call home. To offer them a friendly face, to tell them they are not alone, to reassure them that they care.

Please support St Petrock's in this!
