Why we do it
One can survive a winter night in St. Petersburg only if one is safe and warm. We do not want to have people freezing to death on the streets of our city or becoming disabled due to frostbite. So if someone needs to hide from the cold, they can come and stay at one of our heated tents, no certificates or papers required.
How it works
Nochlezhka’s heated tents can accommodate up to 50 people each. Anyone can sleep there protected from the cold, get a hot supper and breakfast, some warm and clean clothes, as well as medical aid. The attendants of the tents tell visitors about Nochlezhka’s shelter and Counselling service and about ways to get off the street with the help of the charity’s experts.
