Members of Mounts Bay Rotary Club have made a significant donation to St Petroc's Society, which provides accommodation, support, advice, training and resettlement services to single homeless people in Cornwall.
The donation, totalling £2,500, is specifically for the Penzance-based Breadline resettlement centre, and will be used to improve clothes washing and drying facilities, storage, as well as buying a laptop to enable clients to access information, advice and guidance online.
"The funds were raised by our Rotary charity shop that Mounts Bay Rotary Club runs in partnership with the Penzance club," said Jerry Drew, chair of community services for Mounts Bay Rotary Club.
"Mounts Bay Rotary Club agreed at the beginning of our Rotary year that our major project would be the Breadline resettlement project and I am delighted that we were able to make a real difference."
The cheque was presented to Angie Utting from St Petroc's Society by Jerry Drew, chair of community services for Mounts Bay Rotary Club and fellow committee member Russel Whitlock outside the Rotary shop in Market Jew Street.
