This Funder Friday, we’re shining a spotlight on Friends of the Foundation 💛 Our Friends are members who play a big part in supporting us. Their membership means that we can continue working to fund the groups in Cornwall that are making a real difference. Friends also give directly to projects that fight poverty, reduce social isolation, and bring communities together. Thank you to every member of this community that supports us and our work. 📸 Pictured: Friends at 'Seeing is Believing' with The Clothes Horse, Cornwall Want to be part of the Friends? Membership starts at just £30 per year and your money goes towards supporting our communities 👉 https://lnkd.in/edPfrHg6

We love to hear what different funded organisations have been up to. In October 2023 the society was awarded £2,205 from The Community Fund to run ‘Film Fun with Friends’. The club invites over 50s members to come together and enjoy classic films, like Casablanca and Brief Encounter, with a cream tea. With this funding from CCF, the film club was able to pay for a film license, hall hire, and a special event which they would be unable to do otherwise. Thanks to that special event, membership has increased and more members are coming along, making new friends and enjoying good movies. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYTK7ewH

Will you be tuning into Autumn Week on Bake Off tonight? 🍂🥮🥧 Whether you're a star baker or just love to get your hands messy in the kitchen, we'd love your help. This year, Coodes Solicitors will be holding a Christmas Cake Stand at Cornwall Christmas Fair and they need donations from home bakers. Proceeds from the fair and this cake stand will go towards Cornwall Community Foundation, so that we can continue to support local organisations, projects, and people doing good in Cornwall. Donations can be dropped off at any Coodes office across Cornwall during office hours. Just be sure to wrap securely in cellophane and provide a list of ingredients. And if baking isn’t your thing, come by and guess the weight of the show stopper cake donated by the very talented The Garden Baker. Come along to Cornwall Christmas Fair at the Eden Project this year 👉 https://lnkd.in/em5KdcNS

It's Fund-Day Monday 🥶 Today, we have relaunched 'Surviving Winter' - a continuation of the Crisis Fund for winter months. The fund offers financial support to the people most at risk in Cornwall, helping them to stay warm, active, and healthy. Organisations can apply for £500-£5,000 to share with those at risk who access their services. The Surviving Winter Fund has been supported by the Household Support Funding to reach even more vulnerable households this winter. 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eR4YNHRU 📷 Pictured: Launceston Community Church's first baby essential starter pack given out, funded by a Surviving Winter grant

Businesses are a big part of their communities. And a lot of them want to support these communities. So, Cornwall Community Foundation helps them do just that. This week's Funder Friday, we're looking at Cornwall Business Club. A group of businesses who give to a fund that supports local causes. Joining this club not only lets you give to good causes, it also enables businesses to work together, maximise impact, and share best practice. Find out more about joining the Business Club today 👉 https://lnkd.in/eH69S7XJ 📸 Picture, Falmouth Community Youth Football Club , who recieved a grant from the Business Club Fund
