The Headland Community Fund
Related Grant: Headland Hotel Community Fund
Since 2019, The Headland Hotel and Spa has pioneered an innovative approach to community giving through its partnership with Cornwall Community Foundation (CCF).
By adding just £1 per night to each guest stay — combined with staff fundraising initiatives — the hotel has created a sustainable funding stream that directly benefits the Newquay community.
“We believe that as a business rooted in this wonderful community, we have a responsibility to give back. Our guests love knowing that their stay contributes to making a real difference to local people’s lives.”
A professional partnership
The Headland Hotel’s deep commitment to the community it calls home is at the heart of this fund. Their guests’ generosity, combined with our 20 years of grant-making expertise, means we can direct meaningful investment to the small, volunteer-led organisations doing vital work across Newquay and the wider coastline.
In the 2025–26 funding round, grants were awarded to eight organisations, reaching over 2,216 beneficiaries. Projects spanned environmental education, youth employability, performing arts, outdoor wellbeing, water safety, affordable clothing, domestic abuse recovery, and community infrastructure — reflecting the breadth and depth of impact that well-targeted community investment can achieve.
A sustainable model for the future
The £1 per night contribution creates a reliable funding stream that grows with the hotel’s success, while staff fundraising demonstrates the team’s personal commitment to their community. The Headland Community Fund proves that business success and community impact can be mutually reinforcing — connecting the generosity of visitors with the expertise of professional grant-makers and the passion of local community groups.
The fund is a demonstration of what local business leadership can achieve when it is directed towards the communities that surround it. Cornwall Community Foundation is proud to be its delivery partner.
