Putting the Fun in Fundraising
We are aware that it is hard to put on events without feet on the ground or hands on support...so that's what we do! We are the marshall, the bakers - not yet the candle-stick makers!
£100 for Marie Curie
We raised nearly £100 for Marie Curie just before Christmas.
£350 from cakes!
Thanks to Truro Leisure Centre for hosting our recent cake stall - we raised £ 350 for charity.
£250 for Robotic Surgery AppealWe are delighted to donate £250 to the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust Charity Robotic Surgery Appeal.
Nick Battersby (pictured right) Colorectal Consultant and Bowel Cancer lead at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust is leading the Appeal. Surgeons are keen to acquire robotic surgery equipment that will make procedures simpler and more effective and might also attract and retain highly skilled staff to the Trust.

Coastal Walk in aid of Cornwall Mind
Our members joined other Rotary Clubs to support an energetic fundraiser for Cornwall Mind. We enjoyed fabulous weather and two great days walking from Porthcothnan to Mawgan Porth and Bedruthan back to Porth, as part of the Big Rotary Coastal Path Challenge. On both occasions the delighted walkers enjoyed a fabulous cream tea at Rotarian, Caroline’s house at Porth and a swim afterwards. We raised over £250.

Our club are always happy to be invited to take part in these regular collections.
