Homelessness support groups are coming together in Sidmouth on Tuesday (November 7) to identify gaps in services and discuss pressures they are under.

Trailblazer Devon is hosting a breakfast meeting in the Sidmouth Sailing Club, from 9.15am until 11am.

The organisation is running a series of events to shape resources aimed at reducing the risk of homelessness.

A spokesman said: “We are keen to learn about gaps in services and pressures you face as well as your ideas about how these might be addressed and ideas you’d like to try out or see come to fruition in some way.

“You will know from direct experience what needs to be done locally to prevent homelessness for people and it is important to us that we understand these needs too.

“You may also wish to help us understand areas for skill development and/or support needs of local professionals, including volunteers. This will help us shape a training package.”
