Shore Partnership supports Cornwall Community Foundation

The Cornwall Community Foundation helps communities in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by awarding small grants to grassroots, front line, volunteer-led organisations who are making a positive impact in their area, helping to overcome these challenges of disadvantage, exclusion and poverty for all ages.

In 1999 a group of supporters set up the Cornwall Independent Trust, after identifying the need to give those struggling in the community a voice and to establish an independent source of funding of self-help within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. In 2003 the Fund became the Cornwall Community Foundation continuing this work and supporting work to improve education, health – both physical and mental; and the relief of poverty and sickness. CCF has awarded £13m to the community over the last 19 years, over 6000 local projects have benefited in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
