Since opening our gates to the public in 1992, we have been very proud to support a number of local charities in raising tens of thousands of pounds of vital funds.

Each year, the team at The Lost Gardens of Heligan select a charity to support for the year and we’re now looking for a charity to support in 2026.

This year has seen us supporting and working with St Petrocs.

St Petrocs is a charity working to end homelessness in Cornwall, because every person has the right to a safe and secure home.

St Petrocs provides the support required for people to find a route out of homelessness.

Services include advice, support and medical services at community resource centres in Truro and Penzance and around the county with an outreach team; supported accommodation housing over 165 people across Cornwall; a skills, training and employment programme to ensure that people can return to independence; and Freshfield, an in-house counselling service and telephone helpline.   

St Petrocs focus on the following four areas to achieve their mission:

• Preventing homelessness
• Making homelessness an exception
• Making the experience of homelessness short
• Supporting people out of homelessness for good
