“The support I’ve received  in the hub has been fantastic  – I can’t describe how important what you do has been for me you’ve been my rocks learning to cope with a life changing illness.”

Absolutely. Several times a year we arrange Seeing is Believing events where we invite donors to visit and hear from a number of projects at one event. If there are other projects you would like to visit or perhaps volunteer for let us know. Many projects have regular volunteer sessions and would be happy to welcome Friends of CCF.

Donations to the Cornwall Club go into our Community Fund. The Community Fund supports a huge range of projects which may not fit into one of our targeted/thematic funds or need funding within a specific time frame or outside of a funding round.

Applications to our Community Fund are assessed by members of our Grants Team and presented to our Grants Panel who make the final decision. The Grants Panel meets regularly and is made up of independent, experienced individuals across the community including members of our Board of trustees.

Cornwall Club members are sent a regular newsletter keeping them up to date with news from across the foundation, projects supported and upcoming events.
