Hello & welcome! 

Happy New Year! - a time to reflect on all that 

has happened in 2022, take stock of what we 

have achieved, things we might have done 

better, and how we can improve our lives as 

we go into 2023. 

Life has become tough, but these things could 

either drag us down, or are conquered with the 

inner strength of positive thoughts, words and 

actions to help us through. 

I was moved while attending the Blue Light 

Carol Service at Truro Cathedral in December: a 

service for the Police, Fire and HM Coastguard 

services. These courageous and selfless 

individuals put their lives at risk daily to save 

and help others - and poignantly sacrifice family 

time in order to keep everyone safe. Daily 

gratitude is essential for what we have, whatever 

small things we can find to try and help others as 

much as we can will surely bring us good health, 

fortune and prosperity. 

With love, 

Marie Curie volunteer

Give choral 

singing a try in 

the New Year! 

Truro Choral Society is celebrating its 

60th year with a varied programme 

of music. 

Most of the music we sing is from the 

established canon of classical masterpieces; 

occasionally we perform modern compositions. 

In 2023 we are performing works by Elgar and 

Mozart on 11th March, Mozart’s Requiem in 

June, and Handel’s Messiah in December. 

We also run “Come and Sing” days when the 

public are invited to join us for impromptu 

performances. Our performances are almost 

always in Truro Cathedral; this gives amateur 

singers the opportunity to sing in this 

wonderful building. 

There’s no audition, and rehearsals are 

supportively led by our Music Director, Martin 

Palmer on Tuesdays at 7 pm at Truro Prep 

School, Highertown TR1 3QN. It’s not essential 

to be able to read music and newcomers will 

find the size of the choir enables anyone who 

can sing in tune to get to grips with classical 

choral singing. If you’d like to give the choir 

a try, then our first rehearsal is on Tuesday 

January 10th 2023. 

Choir fees are £144 per year (pro-rata for 

part-year), though membership is free for 

Under 19s and students, and there’s no charge 

for the first three trial rehearsals. Lots of details, 

and pictures, are at www.trurochoral.org or 

by emailing membership@trurochoral.org 

you can find out more about our friendly choir.

Walk a mile a 

day this January 

and raise funds 

for charity 

Citizens Advice Cornwall is issuing 

a challenge to the public to shed 

Christmas calories by walking or 

running the distance of a marathon 

over January while raising money to 

help their local community. 

People are invited to walk or run 26.2 miles 

over the month – either in one go or bit 

by bit. 

Launching the fundraising initiative, Citizens 

Advice Cornwall Chief Executive, Gill Pipkin, 

said: “January is a challenging time for many - 

grey, rainy days coupled with post-Christmas 

bills. This challenge is a great opportunity to 

get out in the fresh air, work off those extra 

pounds and help raise money so we can help 

people in our community who are struggling.” 

Community Fundraising Officer, Tamsin 

Chapman-Gunner, said: “Your efforts will help 

support our vital services providing advice for 

everyone in the community. The cost of living 

and energy crisis has seen the need for our 

services increase more than ever before, we 

need the help of the general public to be able 

to meet this need.” 

Last year Citizens Advice helped almost 9,000 

people in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly 

writing-off debt worth a total over £1 million 

and gaining income worth over £8.1 million. 

Members of the public can sign-up 

for the January Challenge by visiting 

www.justgiving.com/citizensadvicecornwall 

and selecting the “fundraise” option, email

If you need help 

- it is at hand 

Truro Foodbank held its second community 

food collection in December, and collected 

a huge amount of food at Truro Tesco 

Superstore, over four days. 

This collection will enable them to provide 

emergency food parcels to help people living in 

and around Truro this winter. They would like to 

say a huge thank you to Tesco, The Trussell Trust, 

all their volunteers, and everyone who donated, 

who were most generous. 

Simon, lead organiser of Truro Foodbank 

said, “Thirty three tonnes of food were given 

out when I joined three years ago, and the 

amount has now risen to seventy tonnes: higher 

than the national average! Food distributed 

over the full year will increase to over one 

hundred tonnes. Referral agencies are available 

to give out vouchers to people-in-need. If in 

doubt about who to seek help from come in and 

ask any of the team, and they can point you in 

the right direction” 

Simon and his team at Truro Foodbank having distributed 

all the food in these empty boxes over a two hour period! 

Simon advises, “do not leave it too late to seek 

advice from the Foodbank. If you are struggling 

or need food, come in and get advice. There 

are various organisations planned during the 

sessions”. See below for the schedule. 

Truro Foodbanks cover the North coast: 

Perranporth, Porthtowan, St Agnes to the South 

coast up to St Mawes. Open drop-ins can be 

found twice a week at Truro (left side of Truro 

Cathedral) and at All Saints Church.

Transport Access 

People (TAP) 

TAP (Transport Access People) has 

been taking regular bookings for Edith’s 

Oncology appointments. Edith is 79 

years old and lives alone, with no 

immediate family, in the Bodmin area. 

This is Edith’s Story, written in her own 

words 

Edith’s Story | The Biggest Step 

Initially, a nice young social prescriber, called Jo, 

put me in contact with TAP (Transport Access 

People) as I was feeling less confident on my feet 

and had been struggling to access bus routes 

since the first lockdown. 

I have always been fairly confident, I am actually 

quite headstrong, but ever since the pandemic 

hit, I have become more hesitant and have seen 

a deterioration in my own health and general 

wellbeing. I know that I must go to my Oncology 

appointments, but I was so scared and struggling 

to face them - especially with so many mixed 

messages in the media. So, perhaps the biggest 

step for me, was that first one, just outside my 

own front door. 

gentleman in the transport office, who was 

down to earth and able to explain how the trip 

works - I couldn’t believe that Volunteers were 

able to provide a service straight from my front 

door to Treliske & then back again. 

I explained that I was a little unsteady on my 

feet but could still get up and down fine. He 

reassured me further and said that the driver 

would be there to lend a helping hand, should I 

need it. 

Becoming a Regular Thing 

I was a little apprehensive during my first trip 

to Treliske. I must have called, at least, half a 

dozen times - checking whether everything was 

going ahead and if the driver was still coming. 

I shouldn’t have worried, as Colin (my driver) 

arrived early. Just like the young gentlemen in the 

Transport Office, he was helpful, a good listener 

and assured me that he would be right there 

waiting for me after my treatment had finished. 

I must admit, I wasn’t feeling my best after my 

treatment, but just like he promised, Colin was 

there waiting for me - I cannot tell you what a 

relief it was to see a smiling face and get home 

safely. 

Making Contact 

All it took for me to feel a little more confident 

was a phone call. I spoke to a nice young 

TAP need Volunteers to support people like 

Edith. If you would like to become a Volunteer 

driver or find out more, please contact the 

TAP Helpline on 01872 223388

Cleaning up your 

act at home: Going 

toxin-free has 

never been easier. 

In the backdrop of the pandemic, many of us 

have become a little bit obsessed with hygiene 

and cleanliness, and this has meant focusing 

on keeping our homes cleaner than ever. 

Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a 

clean house. Fresh smelling, sparkling and virus free. 

But have you ever thought about what’s actually in 

your cleaning products and whether they leave more 

than just a nice smell? 

extreme cases, 100 times more contaminated largely 

because of household cleaners and pesticides. 

Interestingly, in the EU and the UK the only 

ingredients that are required to be biodegradable in 

cleaning products are “surfactants” (agents used to 

increase spreading and wetting properties) – all other 

substances (including microplastics) are not restricted 

(Ethical Consumer, 2021). Sadly, this is evident when 

you look at your cleaning product labels and find 

“hazardous” or “corrosive” warnings. 

Why should we be concerned? 

Common 

ingredients in 

conventional 

household 

cleaning products 

can effectively 

pollute the air in 

our homes and 

there is growing 

concern that this 

is impacting our 

health with rising 

incidences of 

cancer and asthma. 

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, the air inside the typical home is on average 

2-5 times more polluted than the air outside and, in 

What is the solution? 

Fortunately for us, there are a growing number of 

non-toxic cleaning products now available. 

As recommended by The Ethical Consumer, the 

products to look out for are those that do not contain 

toxic chemicals such as chlorine, triclosan, parabens 

or phthalates. 

Which non-toxic products actually work? 

Eco-Homemaker, an online shopping platform, is on 

a mission to make your life easier when it comes to 

eco-friendly shopping for your family. They stock 

refillable non-toxic cleaning products such as a 

bleach alternative, anti-bac surface cleaners, oven 

cleaner, glass cleaner and floor cleaner – and all have 

been meticulously tried and tested so you can be 

assured of their effectiveness.

24/7 Community Gateway 

Cornwall’s charities and community 

groups have combined forces to support 

the most vulnerable people through a 

challenging winter. 

Community Gateway launched to provide a single 

point of access to a range of voluntary sector support. 

In response to increasing living costs and pressures 

across the health and care system in Cornwall and 

the Isles of Scilly, a unique partnership of more 

than 50 voluntary organisations have been 

working with NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly 

Integrated Care Board to offer ongoing support to 

communities across the Duchy. 

The Community Gateway is a dedicated 

telephone line available for everyone and 

provides a single point of access to a wide range 

of professional voluntary sector support. It will 

provide a ‘gateway to independence’, working 

with people to identify their needs and put 

appropriate packages of support in place. 

The Gateway aims to create personalised plans 

that prevent hospital admissions, reduce social 

isolation, and improve wellbeing. It will also 


connect people to mental health support, 

community activities and wider winter support 

including hot food and warm spaces. 

People can access the Gateway via a dedicated 

telephone line (01872 266383), and email 

address: gateway@ageukcornwall.org.uk to 

speak to trained staff and find local support that’s 

right for them. In addition, staff members in the 

community will be available to offer one to one 

and group support. 

A network of more than 35 community hubs 

will be offering winter support for people of all ages, 

such as drop-in sessions on energy saving and debt 

advice, as well as a warm place to go and talk to 

someone or take part in activities, including craft and 

cookery classes. Free hot drinks and refreshments will 

also be on offer in most spaces. 

As well as offering a lifeline for members of the 

community, the Gateway will also offer a single 

point of access to voluntary sector support for GPs, 

other healthcare professionals and community 

groups. 

The Gateway is open 8am to 8pm, seven days a 

week, 365 days a year – including Christmas day.

News from 

Truro City Council 

Happy New Year! 

As we welcome the New 

Year, we would like to reflect 

on an exciting 2022. 

One of the most notable 

moments for us in the past 

year was back in June 

when work began to 

restore the clock tower on 

Truro’s Municipal Buildings. 

In late November, the 

historic bells were removed 

from the tower as part of 

the restoration. 

Cllr Bert Biscoe shared with 

us the interesting history 

of the clock tower and the 

Municipal Building. 

The current clock and tower 

are not the original ones. 

There was a fire in 1914, 

when the clock half-fell into 

the Council Chamber of 

City Hall. 

Three of the four sides of 

the granite tower needed 

to be reconstructed. They 

were rebuilt using concrete 

and steel. The steel has 

since corroded, which is the 

cause of the current works. 

The current clock was 

donated by Mr Lewis 

Daubuz, a local resident 

and the Vice Warden of 

the Stannaries. His portrait 

hangs in the Council’s 

committee room. 

He is also the namesake 

of Daubuz Moor and was 

famed for the gardens 

and plantations he 

established on the 

adjacent site now known 

as Treseder’s Gardens. 

In the Council Chamber, 

there is a brass plate 

commemorating Mr 

Daubuz’s donation, though 

it states that the donor was 

anonymous. However, it 

was later revealed in the 

Netherton’s Almanack 

that Mr Daubuz was the 

generous benefactor. 

City Hall and its clock 

tower is a significant part 

of Truro’s history. City Hall 

was built as an expression 

of Truro’s civic strength, a 

product of its economic 

wealth. It contained all 

the instruments of civic 

governance, including the 

Fire Station, the Police 

Station, the town council 

and the Magistrate’s 

Court. 

At the time, it was a 

popular idiom to describe 

the court, or being due in 

court, as being ‘under the 

town clock’. 

The Magistrate’s Court 

was also the Stannary 

Court, which heard cases 

under Stannary Law. The 

privileges of the stannaries 

were legislated following 


the creation of the Duchy 

of Cornwall in 1337. 

City Hall is still the rightful 

home of Truro City Council, 

and the work to the clock 

tower is vital to restoring 

and protecting the vast 

history and heritage of Our 

Great Little City. 

We look forward to 

seeing the completion 

of the works to the clock 

tower in the spring of this 

year. 

In the meantime, if you 

have any interesting facts 

about City Hall or the clock 

tower, we’d love to hear 

them!

to communications@truro.

when my speech wrote itself in the first 10 

minutes of the evening. C/Sgt (SCC) Freya 

Peachey started by showing a presentation 

that was not saved from the night before. 

That moment you want to be swallowed up 

by a big hole in the ground. Freya handled it 

perfectly and as the evening went on it got 

more enjoyable as things clearly did not go 

to plans. What better wisdom is there than 

when things 'go wrong'; we can 

learn to deal with what we receive. The whole 

evening was brilliant, and my speech focused 

on embracing the unknown and advising 

the sea and marine cadets that things very 

rarely go exactly to plan - and that is all right. 

Congratulations to the City of Truro Sea and 

Royal Marine Cadets for all their awards, and 

to Freya and the team winning most of them 

this year.

want to express my deep gratitude to all the 

volunteers, and everyone who donates. It may 

not feel like it at times, but it is really making 

a difference. These initiatives, although not 

unique, are needed more than ever.

Truro Homeless Action 

Group 

There is one group in Truro who have been 

feeding the homeless for nearly 25 years. 

Twelve months ago I had no idea they existed: 

The Truro Homeless Action Group (THAG) run 

by volunteers is a lifeline to many, especially 

in this cold weather! Such deep dedication 

on many projects rarely lasts more than the 

initial excitement. This one is different, and I 

I have been Mayor for over eighteen months 

and approaching the last few. I am starting to 

reflect my time as mayor. Did I make a difference? 

I turned 50 in December - a milestone 

I never thought I would see when I ended 

up paralysed over 30 years ago. Here I am,

Energy savings 

from Malletts 

Lighting accounts for 15% of a typical 

UK household’s electricity bill, so it’s 

worth looking at cutting costs here 

where you can. 

LED Light bulbs last 

up to 5 times longer 

than halogen bulbs 

and use less energy to 

run, so the savings are 

made on electricity 

and replacement bulb 

costs. 

Bring in your old bulb 

and let the team at

Community 

Fundraiser 

prepares for 

her 30th Great 

Daffodil Appeal 

Lynda Thomas, Community 

fundraiser with Marie Curie is 

now gearing up for her 30th 

Great Daffodil Appeal. 

The last three years have been very challenging 

for everyone but Marie Curie volunteers are 

keen to get back to organising collections and 

placing the little daffodil boxes in shops and 

businesses to raise vital funds for the charity. 

Lynda said: “I love this time of year when 

volunteers will be supporting the charity’s 

annual flagship fundraiser – the Great Daffodil 

Appeal. Marie Curie was forced to cancel its 

public collections for the past two years due to 

the pandemic. This year collections are going 

ahead across the UK and I would like to ask 

new and existing supporters to come forward 

to show their support. We’re so excited that 

this year we’ll be dusting off our big yellow hats 

and getting back out there again to host our 

much-loved collections. 

We can’t do this alone, though. We rely on 

volunteers to donate their time to help us 

raise as much money as we can so that we can 

continue to work and ensure Marie Curie is 

there for terminally ill people, and their families 

in their final days, weeks, months. 

Volunteering at a collection is not only a 

great way to support Marie Curie but also 

a chance to meet new people in your local 

community. Our team will support you from 

the moment you sign-up too, making sure 

you have everything you need to safely 

encourage the public to donate and wear 

one of our iconic daffodil pins.” 

The charity is dependent on public donations 

so that its nurses can continue working on the 

frontline caring for people at the end of life in 

their own homes. Donations also support its 

Information and Support line, which provides a 

listening ear to anyone dealing with any aspect 

of death, dying and bereavement. 

During the Great Daffodil Appeal the annual 

National Day of Reflection will take place. On 

Thursday 23 March, the charity is encouraging 

everyone to wear a daffodil pin and take a 

moment to show their support for the millions 

of people bereaved during the pandemic and 

remember the people we’ve lost. 

To sign-up to volunteer to collect for Marie 

Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal please visit: 

Mariecurie.org.uk/collect or contact Lynda 

Thomas on 01872 260500.

Truro City 

Ranger’s Report 

Toby Cogan and Anna Cormie 

As we welcome the new year, 

there are plenty of flora and fauna 

to look out for. From early winter 

to early spring, one of the many 

fungi we see is the Scarlet Elf Cup 

(Sarcoscyphaaustriaca). 

This vibrant red 

fungus can 

be found on 

decaying 

branches and 

among the leaf 

litter on the 

floor. As they 

prefer the damp 

and shade, you 

A scarlet elf cup on the forest floor 

will have to look closely from path edges to see 

if you can spot these small cups. While inedible 

for humans, they are a winter food source for 

rodents and slugs to enjoy and have been used 

in medicine to stop bleeding by the Oneida 

Native Americans. It is said in European folklore 

that elves would drink from these small cupshaped 

fungi, giving them the name Scarlet Elf 

Cup. However, one of our volunteers likened 

the fungi to a paint pot so they may have many 

uses. If you’re lucky enough, you may not only 

see a Scarlet Elf Cup but also an elf itself! 

It is in early to 

mid-February 

when female 

badgers, Meles 

meles, (sows) 

give birth to 

their young, 

placing them 

in a chamber 

A badger caught on our wildlife camera 

A young wren fledgling 

with bedding typically made from hay, grass 

and ferns. It may seem unwise to raise young 

during one of the coldest months of the year, 

but there is clever reason why badgers do this. 

Although badgers can mate at almost any time 

in a year, they only have this one litter a year 

due to delayed impregnation. This means that 

when the cubs are ready to first emerge from 

their dens after 8-10 weeks, spring is already in 

full swing with plentiful food sources available. 

This is a fantastic adaptation giving the young 

the longest time possible to fatten up before 

the following winter. 

During these winter months many small 

insectivorous small birds leave the UK or switch 

to eating seeds/fruits. But not the Eurasian 

Wren Troglodytes troglodytes! Weighing 

only around 10g or just a little more than a 

£1 coin, wrens have to continuously forage to 

find enough food. Wrens are the UK’s most 

common breeding bird, with an estimated 8.6 

million breeding territories. 

However, during prolonged cold winter 

conditions their population can suffer declines 

when every cold, long night is a battle for 

survival. Often for these tiny birds, all the 

weight they’ve gained during the day foraging 

is used to keep them warm overnight! 


THE YOUNG JOURNALIST 

Serendipity! 

ISSUE 1 

I am Daniel Patchett, a geography 

graduate at the University of Exeter’s 

Penryn campus. 

I stumbled upon this campus in Cornwall 

by a happy accident. I had booked to go 

to Exeter University’s Open Day, unaware 

of the existence of Penryn or the campus 

located there. The day before Dad and 

I were to travel I glanced at the form on 

the kitchen table - and was surprised to 

see the address read; Penryn Cornwall, 

not Exeter. I looked it up and found that 

the university had a campus in Cornwall. 

So, we booked an Airbnb in Falmouth, 

and headed down. 

When we arrived, I fell in love with 

Falmouth and knew this was where I 

wanted to study. Three years later, I am 

yet to leave! I did consider a few other 

places, providing a more traditional 

urban experience, but none of them 

appealed to me quite like Falmouth. 

The vibrant, lively Cornish town set 

on the coast in the middle of open 

countryside was very appealing, 

especially as I am not a fan of big 

cities. 

It was the perfect place. My time 

at university was affected by the 

Covid19 pandemic. When I returned to 

Falmouth in July 2020, the place was 

unlike the buzzing town I had come to 

live in 2019. 

I was able to get through the 

lockdowns, with the help of friends I 

lived with at the time, and the town 

itself. I went frequently on walks in the 

fresh coastal air and spent days on 

the beaches; experiences I would not 

have had in a city environment. So, I 

am grateful and glad to have chosen 

Falmouth as the place in which to study 

and live. 

I am still in Falmouth and up until the 

end of the summer season I was working 

as a mixologist at the Hotel Meudon. 

My reason for staying is that Cornwall 

has become my home and I don’t fancy 

leaving! From the day I first came here 

with my Dad I have loved 

Cornwall, and I will view it 

as my home for years to 

come - I do not envisage 

leaving. I am currently 

concentrating on a career 

in writing.

News from 

Truro BID 

Truro BID delivers events, projects and 

services for Truro, Truro’s businesses & 

everyone working in the city centre. They 

are business led & not for profit. 

Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had 

an enjoyable Christmas and all businesses 

experienced good trading over the festive 

period, especially given the current economic 

climate. 

It was great to have a number of shops 

popping up in Truro for the festive season 

and witness the city being in full swing in the 

lead up to Christmas! 

© PR4Photos 

as well as Truro City Council and the Hall for 

Cornwall. 

The lights were switched-on pirate style to 

complement Hall for Cornwall’s Christmas 

Show, Treasure Island, and we just had to share 

some images! 

We were also delighted to work with Coppice 

Theatre to bring back Finding Father 

Christmas at Truro Cathedral, the unique 

grotto and storytelling experience, which ran 

for five dates in December. 

© PR4Photos 

We deliver the Christmas Lights each year, 

made possible due to the 380 or so businesses 

who pay the Truro BID Levy, so we hope 

everyone enjoyed the lights whilst they 

shopped and worked throughout the festive 

season. 

As you may know, Truro BID was responsible 

for kicking off the city’s Christmas celebrations 

with Festive Friday on 18th November, which 

featured Truro’s Christmas Lights Switch-on and 

a parade. It was great to work with Pirate FM’s 

Johnny Cowling and Lucy Start on the event, 

© PR4Photos 


The next event that we’re organising is the 

annual ‘City Clean Up’ where we work with 

Newham BID, local businesses, organisations 

(including Truro City Council) and residents to 

spruce up Truro via cleaning, sticker removal 

and litter picking. It’s a chance to do some extra 

cleaning in addition to the services provided 

by Biffa. 

Thank you to everyone who worked with us 

on the Christmas events and to everyone who 

came along. 

City Clean Up will be taking place on Thursday 

16th to Saturday 18th March. To get involved 

and give as little as an hour to help clean up 

the city, either as a Truro business or resident, 

email: sian.knights@trurobid.co.uk in the first 

instance. 

© Hall for Cornwall 

As well as events, we provide services for Truro 

based businesses. We’d like to reach out to 

those working in Truro City Centre, to invite 

you to monthly Shopwatch meetings, where 

you can share local crime related issues and 

knowledge with other businesses, the police 

and Truro BID. 

Although crime itself is not positive, the 

Shopwatch meetings are a helpful forum where 

employees in Truro can feel supported and find 

out about the ongoing work behind the scenes 

to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour. 

The first Shopwatch meeting for 2023 is on 

Tuesday 10th January and all Truro City Centre 

based businesses are welcome to attend. 

Finally, with the Christmas Lights coming down 

and signifying the end of the festivities, we 

really do urge everyone to continue to support 

Truro’s shops, eateries and service businesses 

during the winter and beyond. 

We appreciate that it’s a difficult time for many, 

although please do support the high street as 

much as you can. You can do this by shopping 

in person, getting a coffee whilst out, having 

your haircut in Truro or using the local legal, 

financial and property firms. 

Truro businesses please feel free to contact us 

on 01872 273 999.
