Welcome to the new Cornwall Community Foundation Newsletter
 
 
 
 
 
A welcome from James Williams, Chairman CCF
 

Together with this and our website, we hope to keep you better informed about the projects and groups we are helping throughout Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

These are testing times for all, and the work that the foundation does has become even more important during these difficult times. The challenge is that the funds that we raise for the local community groups and volunteers are in more demand than ever and in some cases are imperative to their very survival.

You are receiving this newsletter because you are already either a friend, a donor, a Cornwall 100 club member or a volunteer of the CCF and we thank you very much for all the support you have given us to date.

In our recent and successful awards ceremony, Lady Mary Holborow gave a call to action to pass on our message to a friend or colleague and ask for their help. Please could you do this one thing over this festive period – it is just as good as giving.

Many thanks and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
