•EXPERIENCE• A N AU T U M N S T R O L L F R O M T R E L I S S I C K TO R O U N D W O O D Q UAY Sitting on its own peninsula with water on three sides, Trelissick is a superb location for a stroll at any time of year, particularly now that the greens of summer have erupted into the golden hues of autumn.

Starting off at Trelissick car park, this route takes you inland through woodlands and grazed farmland. Roundwood Quay has echoes of its defensive and industrial past and while you re there, you ll spot any number of bird species that floc to the foreshore, including oystercatchers, curlews, lapwings, fieldfares and estrels.

This is a perfect walk for blowing away the cobwebs, so if you’ve been cooped up out of the cold so far this autumn, be sure to visit the National Trust website and discover the full route.

Showcasing the very best of Cornish art Head to The Summerhouse Gallery in arazion and you ll find a beautiful, welcoming space that displays a stunning selection of Cornish art. Located just across the water from the wonderful St Michael’s Mount, the aim is to create the perfect place to discover painting, jewellery, sculpture and glass in a relaxed manner. The beauty of art is in its ability to connect. This is the ethos that sits at the core of Summerhouse, with varying artists from the established to the up and coming. The Summerhouse team can put their hands on their hearts and say that every piece they hang on their walls is there for one simple reason – because they love it!

Bodrugan Barton celebrates the great outdoors, providing glamping holidays in stylish, handcrafted wooden Wigwam cabins, complete with en-suite toilets and showers and overlooking 40 miles of coastline. The backdrop of the working farm and glorious countryside in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty generously allows the mind and body to relax and enjoy all that this location has to offer, creating memories that will last forever.

Bodrugan also has another string to its very special bow: an old stone combine house has been transformed into a beautiful underfloor heated yoga space to accommodate yoga practice, writers and crafters. Wigwam accommodation with the studio provides the perfect space for weekends or longer breaks, allowing course leaders to gather their group together and have a remarkable venue for their retreat.

Autumn warmers at The Lemon Arms When exploring Mylor, there’s a great selection of hidden creeks, picturesque walks and a spacious playground to make the most of. Then after your outdoor excursions, we recommend heading to The Lemon Arms at the top of Mylor Bridge to cosy down and enjoy a quiet pint or a sit-down meal.

The welcoming pub has a great selection of local ales, ciders and beers as well as a menu full of homemade delights. The food

is a real draw with a great specials board alongside all the pub classics. We did a little digging and found this review from one happy customer: “We had a wonderful Sunday lunch with drinks, pudding and coffee at a very reasonable price. It’s great to see a pub full of locals and visitors. A warm welcome and good service, we’ll certainly go again.”

News & views Streamline your holiday home schedule

If you’re the proud owner of a holiday home in ornwall but find yourself rushed off your feet on changeover days, perhaps local, family run business, Holiday Home Waste Collection Ltd, based in Wadebridge, could be of service.

Cornwall Council now classes holiday home waste as commercial waste, meaning it’s no longer dealt with by domestic waste carriers. To have it collected by the Council, holiday homeowners are now required to pay and sign into 12-month contracts, and while the Council does recommend a few other companies, their collection days unfortunately don’t always coincide with changeovers.

With this in mind, Holiday Home Waste Collection Ltd introduced a personable collection service to suit individual holiday home owners, offering a unique service and clean bins when guests arrive, without a binding contract, whereby owners can call up at anytime should a callout or any assistance be required.

The team offers collections on both the north and south coasts on different changeover days. The service includes the bags and removal of general waste, as well as glass recycling – by Cornwall

Bespoke, unique, craftsmanship Michael Jenkin has been working with bespoke furniture for over ten years, making anything from fine furniture to custom itchens and fitted bedrooms. ith a passion for fine furniture and a love of surfing, Michael founded Bespoke Surf.

Cullet – sending glass to Yorkshire where it’s used for making light bulbs. Other mixed dry recyclables are sold on, while non-recyclables are incinerated, producing green energy that gets sent straight to the electrical grid. But that’s not all – they recently introduced food recycling too, adding to the long list of services available.

Jennifer and her family run team can help you on an ad-hoc basis, or can quote for weekly collections over the course of the year, for properties of all sizes, ultimately ensuring your visitors are not greeted by rubbish bags and piles of recycling when they arrive for their holiday.

the cold CURE FOR

With a wealth of luxury stays throughout the county, Cornwall has to be up there as one of the UK’s best winter staycation destinations.

D

espite the consistent lengthening of Cornwall’s shoulder seasons, it’s still surprising how few people see it as a winter destination. For the life of me, I can’t understand why! Earth shattering storms make for an awe-inspiring sight on the coast, and the menus of Cornwall’s restaurants reflect the delicious produce that thrives at this time of year.

Pooch-friendly pads We're keen to hear why Managing Director of orever ornwall forevercornwall.co.uk), hil endall, loves ornwall in the winter.

“Winter in Cornwall is about embracing the elements and tuning into the landscape,” he explains. The skeletal trees whistling in the wind, the rain-soaked dunes leading down to the beach, the rugged cliffs, carved out by aeons of storms and savage winds there s so much to take in. “As they say,” he continues, “there’s no such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothes!”

Among a wealth of other superb dog friendly homes, he shows us Roselyn at Lerryn. “When the nights get longer and temperatures drop, it s time for ygge Cornwall style!” A stunning stay sleeping six and surrounded by beautiful walks, this property is just a stone’s throw from the local pub. Being dog friendly, it’s perfect for wearing out your canine companion before returning to curl up in front of the log burner. he icing on the ca e, however, has got to be the wood fired innish hot tub

Speaking of food...

Cornwall has no doubt become one of the foodie capitals of the , so if you have no other reason to visit the uchy, the food alone should be enough!

At Merchants Manor in Falmouth merchantsmanor.com), couples can ease into an adults-only escape and enjoy a proper bit of respite and Cornish hospitality. Owners Nick and ioned have wor ed tirelessly to present guests with a heady mix of crac ling log fires, boozy hot chocolates, great company and fine food, all complemented by an award winning spa. As Nick puts it, “Falmouth and Merchants Manor are the perfect winter companions,” and with the town’s bohemian mix of independent shops, bars and eateries, we couldn’t agree more. Headed up by Chef Patron, Hylton Espey, Merchants Manor’s Rastella restaurant boasts three AA rosettes, and Hylton’s motto that “what grows together goes together” has really helped cement the hotel’s position near, if not at, the top of the local foodie scene. iscover more on page 48.

Specialising in Rock, Port Isaac, Polzeath and Daymer Bay, John Bray is renowned for its large portfolio of superb self-catering stays.

Speaking with Debbie from the Lettings Team, we ask what she recommends to anybody travelling with their pooch. y favourite walk with my dog is from Rock to Daymer Bay, or maybe to Polzeath and beyond. The beach is a huge stretch of sand, especially at low tide.

Flanked by sand dunes, it’s dog friendly all year round.”

John Bray has a wealth of properties in the area, including Farlands in Daymer Bay. Sleeping up to 12 and with a large playroom for the kids, Farlands is perfect for large group getaways and family get-togethers. Expect warm coastal interiors, sumptuous bedrooms and ample outside space for when the sun’s shining. Oh, and it’s dog friendly too! ll of this sounds lovely, but for some, nothing quite compares to the deluxe convenience of a hotel stay. f this sounds li e you, olurrian on the izard polurrianhotel. com) may just be perfect.

PROTECT YOUR

INVESTMENT Patio Clean leads the way in environmentally friendly surface cleaning – protecting the investment you’ve made in your dream home.

ABOVE  Maintain your home's beautiful look with no damaging chemicals or water pressure

N

othing beats arriving home after work and basking in the glow of your home’s curb appeal, particularly when you’ve invested in the outside of your home and are now reaping the rewards. What many don’t realise, however, is the importance of using the right tools when it comes to maintaining your home’s beautiful look.

The surface specialists at Patio Clean understand your desire to be house proud without spending hours keeping it clean.

That’s why, after selling the product nationally, the team have decided to offer an exclusive cleaning service – one that promises to help you protect the investment you’ve made in your hard landscaping.

With the help of their European partners, Patio Clean have introduced to Cornwall the TerazzaMC Brush – designed in Belgium to clean any external or internal service. The unique and patented system can restore stone, decking, block paving and countless other surfaces with minimal water and absolutely no damaging high pressures or chemicals.

Jason, founder of Patio Clean, has a wealth of experience in helping homeowners to protect their investment and restore their

property back to its former glory. He tells us about one particular project, for a client whose swimming pool – surrounded by sandstone – had become infected with black spot. Pressure washing had started to damage the joints, and even after several attempts to clean the sandstone using pressure washing and chemicals, the problem persisted. hen the client first approached me she was thinking about replacing the whole terrace,” Jason tells us. But this would only have been a short-lived solution, due to the surrounding environment. With our climate becoming warmer and wetter, black spot, moss, algae, lichen and weeds all flourish outdoors. Instead, using the TerazzaMC Brush with a little water and sand, Jason was able to remove the black spot, leaving his client thrilled with the result!

Specialising in the removal of moss, algae, lichen, weeds and general dirt, Patio Clean promise to restore all of your surfaces, ensuring and protecting the wow factor you’ve invested in.

hat is the classic Cream Cornwall coastal style, I hear you ask.

Well, the look is sophisticated – marrying crisp linens, perfectly painted tongue and groove, bold stripes and a distinct palette of whites, neutrals, blues, charcoal and black. Utilising beautiful accessories such as specimen shells, coral, maritime instruments and coastal art with the aim of creating a clean, elegant feel.

You don’t have to live by the sea to achieve a coastal feel for your home. Just by putting a few tips into practice you’ll feel like you’ve got the ocean at your doorstep.

When it comes to choosing paints, don’t be afraid of using dark blue; the signature Cream Cornwall blue, Star Gazey, works perfectly in a small space as long as you keep the ceiling and woodwork white. Be brave, it will look fantastic! There are loads of options for different types of furniture to tie together your interior design and one that owner Rebecca Heane suggests is to make the most of an ottoman, providing a useful piece of extra seating for visitors and also working as a base for a lovely display of shells and coral. hen it comes to style, often the finer details can make all the difference.

Cream Cornwall has a great selection of

exclusive lampshades, which are perfect for the coastal look and create a real focal point for any room. Mix these with tailored stripes and washed linens for a classic feel.

Whether you prefer Roman blinds or curtains, your windows are sure to look smart with a mitred border to add definition.

Choose a contrast colour for the borders to add extra design interest. When deciding on what to put on your walls, make sure to check out Cream Cornwall’s extensive range of beautiful mirrors including the unique shell mirrors, or for something a little different why not hang blue and white bone china plates as statement pieces?

If you’re interested in creating a coastal feel at home then feel free to contact the team for a free interiors consultation in the Falmouth store. They’ll be more than happy to talk you through the various options.

re you looking for an atmospheric holiday in a beautiful and secluded location? Look no further than the Housel Bay Hotel.

Anchored above a secluded cove on the Lizard peninsula, the Housel Bay Hotel was built in 1894 from locally extracted granite. It’s the most southerly hotel in mainland Britain and provides visitors with the chance to explore an exceptionally beautiful corner of Cornwall.

On 5th August 1900, Guglielmo Marconi stayed at Housel Bay whilst he was conducting his experimental radio transmissions to Newfoundland. One of the hotel's most famed guests, arconi developed the first effective long-distance system of radio communication and in his honour Housel Bay has named the hotel bar after him. he izard is nown for its sleepy fishing villages, hidden, secluded coves and clifftop walks. The famous and iconic Lizard Lighthouse was built in 1751, and marks the most southerly point of mainland Britain.

Even today on a foggy night you can hear the atmospheric sound of the fog horn panning out across the coastline.

Recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, nature lovers will delight in the plethora of flora and fauna in the area. he Lizard’s warmer local climate generates an

abundance of sub-tropical vegetation, creating a rainbow of colour all year round. There are also a variety of bird species to spot along your passage over the sea cliffs, with peregrines, ravens and the Cornish chough regularly being sighted. Organic farming has been instigated on the Lizard as well, which Housel Bay takes full advantage of – serving locally grown meat and fish fresh from the surrounding ocean.

What's more, the South West Coast Path runs across the end of the hotel's gardens, offering up a wealth of amazing walks to guests, right outside the hotel.

Each season has its own quality, from tranquil summer days with clear blue skies and still waters, to crisp autumnal walks and awe-inspiring winter storms, which you can sit and admire from The Terrace Restaurant.

If you want to enjoy a holiday that allows you to immerse yourself in the wild countryside and panoramic views of the Lizard peninsula; to escape from the every day stresses of busy modern life, get in touch with the Housel Bay team and make your dream holiday a reality.

When travelling to Cornwall why not stop off in Dorset on the way and stay at the beautiful Greenwood Grange?

S

late roofs, exposed wooden beams, crisp white sheets, manicured grounds, ancient woodland, collecting fresh eggs... Welcome to the award-winning Greenwood Grange.

Fit in even more during your holiday with a stay in Dorset on your way to Cornwall.

Greenwood Grange is a collection of beautiful, superior stone-built properties nestled in a secluded rural hamlet in the Dorset countryside.

Famous author Thomas Hardy grew up in a cottage just a short stroll away; you can also explore the nature trails, as well as the many nearby nature reserves.

You could quite literally write a book about this place… transformed from farm buildings built by Thomas Hardy’s father in 1849, the village of stone cottages stands proud in its magnificent and historical setting. Every property is unique and there is a style to suit all requirements, whether you’re a couple looking for a cosy cottage, a family looking for adventure or a group of friends celebrating.

Dogs are welcome in a number of properties too, so your four-legged friends can make the most of exploring the

beautiful woodlands and fields nearby.

The luxury accommodation ranges from two-bedroom cottages to homes sleeping up to 12; some even come fully equipped with their very own hot tubs.

If you choose to stay in a cottage without a hot tub, you won’t be missing out too much as there’s also a private heated indoor swimming pool, manicured grounds and a tennis court to utilise during your stay.

Greenwood Grange has so much to offer, and whether you simply want to relax in your own private cottage, take a dip in the indoor pool, indulge in the sauna or play a game of tennis – it's your choice. You can even pick your own vegetables from the kitchen garden and the onsite shop stocks all the essentials – including that oh-so necessary bottle of wine!

If you’re interested in a Greenwood Grange stay then make sure to get in touch with the Greenwood team and discover everything this beautiful area has to offer.

Weird Fish offers something different from the norm – a sense of fun, an eye for practicality and plenty of style and quality.

We hear from Managing Director, John Stockton, who tells us: “We live for that Friday feeling. Whether we’re unwinding by the coast, walking our dogs, or just catching up with friends at the local, the weekend gives us the time to unwind and be ourselves and we believe that every day should be full of the freedom and fun that the weekend gives us.”

For the new autumn collection the company has embraced the Scandinavian qualities of ‘hygge’ – being cosy and content and ‘Frilufsliv’ – enjoying the open-air life. To Weird Fish, this is what ‘wearing the weekend’ is all about – simply being comfortable and enjoying the moment.

John continues: “When Saturday morning comes along it’s time to kick back in our

feel-good favourites and enjoy the good ë ABOVE Cosy and times. Every piece of our clothing starts comfortable with that feeling in mind.” From cosy Scandi-inspired Scandi-inspired knitwear, to super soft knitwear fleece, rugged lined shirts and winter é INSET warmer jackets, they offer something for Accessorise your every adventure. weekend wear this You can also accessorise your weekend season wear this season, with chunky, hand-knitted accessories, perfect to finish any winter outfit they also ma e fantastic gift options.

The hotel has carved out quite the name for itself since being acquired by couple Nick and Sioned back in 2012. Returning this country house by the sea to its roots, the hotel places a focus on adult-only escapes, with an emphasis on warm service, outstanding food and drink, creating a guilt-free, recharging getaway thanks to its eco credentials.

The decision to create a hotel for grown-ups, removing the function room (yes, no parties disturbing your experience) and creating a hub for food, drink and service was a bold move, but one that sees many floc ing bac each year.

Meeting with Sioned, the driving force behind the guest experience is fascinating. She explains the decision to do things differently. The standard reception desk, which can be seen as creating a barrier, has been replaced by a partnership with o t handon to open ornwall s first champagne arrivals lounge. “At the heart of our hotel is service,” says Sioned. “People can be shoc ed when they first wal in and as , where is the reception desk?’ However, with a glass of Moët & Chandon, our team soon break the ice and help people start to relax after their journey. Our team are the beating heart of the business and we go to extreme lengths to recruit passionate people who genuinely care for our guests. The goal is to feel at home in the surroundings and with the team.”

The same level of care goes into Rastella (old ornish for grill , which is the hot tic et on the south coast food scene right now. One of only four

restaurants in the county to be awarded a coveted three osettes, you can find out more from hef Patron, Hylton Espey on page 48. Will O’Shea, the Hotel Manger explains that it does not stop with food. “We have the largest wine selection in the area, and within the rare breeds category we have some of the only bottles in Europe and when they are gone we start the hunt for the next small-batch artisan producer.”

The train of thought and caring continues through into the eco credentials of the hotel, with nearly all the menu sourced locally, its own Cornish black bee colony, a drinks list with over 70 eco wines and spirits, the first next generation high-speed electric vehicle charge point in the county and even producing their own hot water and electric. Looking to the future, Merchants Manor is keen to continue its mission to intrinsically link physical wellbeing, via the Linen Rooms Spa, with the wellbeing of the environment. t s the first hotel in the UK to join the global project to create a sustainable future called t ust be ow . ic says “We look at every opportunity and new development and ensure there is a way to reduce our footprint. A great example is the new infrared sauna we recently installed. We have ensured the construction is in eco certified wood, and it has reduced energy consumption by 80% over the previous, and we have even upcycled the old one.

“Making a positive difference, providing memorable moments for our guests, with amazing food, drink and service against the back drop of a guilt-free pleasure is what we are all about and not many can truly say that.”

FINE FALMOUTH

C  MAIN Exceptional presentation with the flavour to match

RIGHT Dinner at Rastella is a journey around the Duchy

ornish food and drink is some of the best in the country.

“We’d be crazy not to take advantage of that,” explains Merchants Manor Proprietor, Nick Rudlin, “which is why we produce nature inspired food that ticks all the boxes.”

Rastella is the highest rated dining experience in Falmouth. From locally-foraged greens, butchers and garden markets, to the love Chef Patron Hytlon Espey puts into every dish, there is one mantra in the Rastella kitchen: “What grows to together, goes together.” This makes every breakfast, lunch and dinner here a journey around Cornwall.

Now, don’t get me wrong, Cornwall has some exceptional restaurants but the very nature of our seaside location means that while food is first class the ambience is often laid bac . hile heading to dinner straight from the beach in shorts and flip flops obviously has its appeal, sometimes something a little more chic is the order of the day. We’d heard many good things about Rastella, the restaurant at Merchants Manor in Falmouth, not least of which is its recently awarded and highly coveted third AA Rosette – one of only four restaurants in Cornwall to boast this accolade. Chef Patron, Hylton Espey,

was born and raised in South Africa. It was Merchants Manor’s devotion to using the finest, fresh local ingredients, an ethos that matches Hylton’s own, along with a love of the sea that drew him to Falmouth and Rastella.

It has proved to be a match made in heaven.

On arrival you can’t fail to be bowled over by the grandeur of the building – the ivy-clad doorway heralds an opulent interior where sparkling chandeliers light up the traditional entrance hall. he bar and dining room rival the very finest of London restaurants when it comes to style and ambience. The tables are adorned with crisp linen and the cutlery shimmers in the evening light as we are shown to our table. hef ylton oins us to introduce our first course – Game Bird – pheasant, reared on the nearby Roseland, served with puffed heritage grains and a plum caramel. The richness of the fowl is cut through beautifully with the sweet, but slightly acidic plum caramel. It’s paired perfectly with a glass of Trevibban Mill arlyn, an off dry white that has flavours of watermelon and honey.

We learn that Hylton takes daily foraging trips along the coast to pick fresh sea vegetables for his outstanding dishes and udging by the flavours of what s on our plates, it would seem that what grows together really does go together! Nowhere is that more apparent than in tonight’s main dish of the intriguingly named Trewithick Pastures.

Hylton is on hand to explain that the lamb he’s about to serve comes from a farm nearby, where the lambs graze on fields overloo ing the sea above Porthleven. This lamb combines perfectly with fresh, local crab and a foraged vegetable selection of rock samphire and sea aster. Even part of the lamb in the dish is roasted with hay from the very farm from whence it came. Everything is cooked to perfection and is served with Hylton’s signature B.O.F.G.A – a burnt onion fermented garlic aioli.

Rastella is the highest rated dining experience in Falmouth

LEFT What grows together goes together!

We are treated to a Black Ram Red, again from Trevibban Mill, to drink with our lamb.

Hints of aromatic herbs, leather and vanilla, along with spicy top notes of clove and li uorice, are a fitting accompaniment. t s no doubt that Hylton’s attention to detail and superb skill in all areas are what won him the three AA Rosettes and he proves that his talent goes beyond the savoury.

Dessert is perfectly formed and perfectly named for the time of year – autumn. Perhaps best described as a ‘deconstructed pumpkin pie’ we are treated to a swathe of sweet and gently spiced pumpkin along with a chai sorbet and crisp ginger fairing crumbs, topped off with a gently sparkling dessert wine courtesy of Fontanafredda Asti. Light and delicious, this ends a meal that has been very special in many ways.

Although part of the hotel, Rastella feels very much like a standalone restaurant, and has a chic and stylish identity of its own. The service throughout the meal was unobtrusive, yet impeccable and the wine choice a triumph.

We resolved that this is a dining room we will return to for many a special occasion or celebratory dinner.

RAISE A GLASS Rastella’s carefully curated wine list includes one of the country’s largest selections of organic, vegan, vegetarian, biodynamic and natural wines. From ‘rare breeds’ with some of the most world-renowned vintages, to ‘easy drinkers’, there really is something for everyone.

ith a rich seafaring history that spans well over a millennium, before they were tin miners and smugglers, the Cornish were fishermen. ornwall sits at a maritime crossroads with Gulf Stream currents bringing warm water species, and cooler northern currents bringing cold water species. s a result, ornwall s fishing grounds are home to an astonishing diversity of fish, shellfish and crustaceans, a fact that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the many seafood restaurants who are lucky enough to be able to pick from the incredible selection of seafood that the uchy s rich waters have to offer. ith numerous fishing villages, ports and harbours dotted around Cornwall’s coastline, some of the most popular fish restaurants are based in these areas. a e athan utlaw s two restaurants in Port Isaac for example: estaurant athan utlaw and utlaw s Fish Kitchen (nathan-outlaw.com . oth champion the use of ornish fish and seafood and boast views of the surrounding coastline. utlaw s ish itchen is housed within a traditional th century fisherman s cottage, and provides a menu filled with uni ue dishes created from the freshest seafood landed from the surrounding waters each day. e hear from ead hef, im arnes, who tells us he sea and fishermen dictate our menu and we never compromise on uality or sustainability. he ma ority of the fish served in athan utlaw s restaurants is from ornwall, predominantly ort saac, ewlyn and ooe. ou don t need to go far to get the best crab and lobster in the world, making it a no brainer to source locally.

CHARITY |

BRING ON

s d e b e th With public support, Cornwall Hospice Care is able to open more beds for patients.

INSET Gina Starnes  ABOVE

David and Paul

TOP RIGHT The charity's nurses are key to the care it delivers

D

espite challenging economic times Cornwall Hospice Care leaders have committed to opening more beds at both hospices. Four more have already opened meaning there are now nine at the charity’s Mount Edgcumbe Hospice in St Austell and nine at St Julia’s Hospice in Hayle, with more planned to open later this year.

The Director of Clinical Services, Gina Starnes, tells us: “In my 30 year nursing career ve seen first hand the difference that hospices make, giving patients and their families the peace, dignity and specialised care they need. As the only adult hospice charity in Cornwall we know there are many more families who would benefit from our care so we’ve been investing in our staff and facilities so we can open more beds.”

However, such plans come at a cost and at a time when the Cornish charity has felt the challenges of the current economic climate.

David Renwick, the Chair of Cornwall Hospice Care, explains: “We can only open more beds with the support of the public.

I’m appealing to everyone in Cornwall to help us so we can support more people with terminal illnesses.”

The charity has launched an appeal to help fund the increased nursing costs to support the extra beds as Oli Hoare, Head of Fundraising, explains: “As a 24/7 charity

our nurses are key to the care we deliver. To help us continue their vital work we’re asking people for £20 to fund an hour of that care and we hope they will help us achieve our desire to have 20 beds open by the end of the year.”

As the charity prepares to mark the 40th anniversary in 2020 of providing adult hospice care to the people of Cornwall, it recently launched its latest Impact Report, detailing what the charity has achieved in the last year and what its plans are for the financial year ahead. hief xecutive, aul Brinsley tells us: “We’re always appreciative of the support people give us, but now we need an extra boost to meet the demands.

I welcome the news from the government about more funding being available for hospices. We’re working hard to ensure that ornwall benefits from this so we can hopefully increase the NHS contribution towards our care from our current 19.1%, closer to the 32% average for England.”
