New opportunity:
Newquay is home to many fantastic groups, and this year we’re delighted to open the Headland Hotel Community Fund up to partnership applications alongside the usual single-organisation route.
If there is a project you’ve always wanted to try but you don’t have all the skills in-house, this could be your moment. Think about collaborating with another organisation (or two), whose strengths complement yours, and taking a joined-up approach. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
- Any projects or applicants outside of Newquay or surrounding areas. (TR7 and TR8).
- Projects lacking focus on environmental or social mobility themes.
Since 2019, The Headland Hotel and Spa has pioneered an innovative approach to community giving through its partnership with Cornwall Community Foundation.
