Dr Jan Sheldon, chief executive of St Martins, said: “St Martins Fest is a wonderful celebration of a local charity that gets a lot of attention in the winter months but not always so much when it is warm and sunny.

“Some of the people we support will perform on the bandstand, as well as some other well-known and up-and-coming artists.

All funds will go towards supporting people experiencing homelessness and will help the charity provide more accommodation and support, including the building of 12 new one-bed units in the Lakenham area of the city.

The charity also runs a learning and development centre for the people they support to learn new skills, such as cooking, IT skills and training to help them maintain a tenancy.
