12 June 2018 : Rotary Kids Out at Flambards organised by RC Helston Cober Valley

Over 70 children  from Curnow School, Redruth, and Nancealverne School, Penzance, with helpers, spent a day at Flambards Theme Park sponsored by Rotary Clubs in West Cornwall.

This summer the Club sponsored three young people on the course, sharing the costs with their employers.

Do you have a young person working for you who would benefit from a week's course of this nature?  Would you be prepared to help us with the sponsorship of such a candidate?

If you can answer "yes" to both questions, please get in touch using this Contact link, or the link at the bottom of this page.

We support local needs, the local community, and local charities

  Singing Christmas Carols at High Cross

Club members, wives, and friends formed a "community choir" to sing carols at High Cross in front of the Cathedral on the Wednesday "late night shopping" evenings before Christmas.

Sadly, bad weather limited the appearances of our valiant choristers, many dressed in Victorian costume, to one and a half evenings. Nonetheless, over £300 was raised for Club charity funds.

The concert, in the Chapel of Truro School on 19 October, raised over £1,000 for the Truro Foodbank.
