Cornish Historic Churches Trust

This splendid, but little known organisation has just offered a much-needed grant of £5000 to the St Mabyn Restoration Appeal and this seems a good opportunity to bring its activities to a wider notice. It raises money in a variety of ways, The Bike Ride being a very well-known one and has a Friends organisation - The Friends of Cornish Churches. The Membership Secretary is Mr Geoffrey Holborrow, Ladock House, Ladock, Truro TR2 4PL and he has passed some membership forms to me for anyone who cares to join. The Friends organise some lovely events - a summer lunch somewhere with a glorious garden and a winter drinks party are two - to keep the fun in fund-raising! Individual membership costs £10 per year, £15 for a couple or £150 for Life membership.These are modest sums and of course tax payers can boost it by Gift Aid. If you'd like to know more or be sent a form please contact me on 850651.
