The sun always<br />

shines at Sunny<br />

Corner!<br />

Sunny Corner, located on the banks<br />

of the <strong>Truro</strong> River near Malpas, offers<br />

one of the few flat walks in the city,<br />

allowing for a scenic route from the<br />

<strong>Truro</strong> Cathedral without any uphill<br />

climbs. This site, steeped in history,<br />

was notably mentioned by Queen<br />

Victoria in her 1846 diary, describing<br />

a warm reception by the locals as she<br />

visited the area.<br />

The site has been in use for over a century,<br />

with the earliest images showing <strong>Truro</strong><br />

Swimming Club using it as their base from<br />

the 1930s to the 1950s. However, by 2016,<br />

it had fallen into disrepair, prompting local<br />

community worker Paul Caruana (photo: Top<br />

left back row) to spearhead its renovation.<br />

Despite the challenges of coordinating with<br />

four different authorities, Paul and a group of<br />

volunteers, later forming the Friends of Sunny<br />

Corner Group.<br />

Since the renovation began, the group has<br />

earned significant recognition, including<br />

annual “Outstanding” awards from the<br />

Royal Horticultural Society’s “It’s Your<br />

Neighbourhood” scheme and the Queen’s<br />

Award for Voluntary Service in 2021.<br />

Paul said, “We were awarded the Queens<br />

Award for Voluntary Service in 2021, which<br />

culminated in a visit to Buckingham Palace to<br />

attend a Royal Garden Party. We were the only<br />

group in Cornwall to receive the award that<br />

year. The Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall visited<br />

Sunny Corner in August 2021 to present it.<br />

Both myself and Arthur Fitzgerald, (photo:<br />

front row 2nd from right) our oldest volunteer<br />

at 93 years of age, attended the Royal Garden<br />

Party, which was a delight and privilege to<br />

attend.”<br />

the site. Contributions from passersby also<br />

support their efforts.<br />

Volunteers like Julie Evans and Ron Graham<br />

find joy and community in their work,<br />

ensuring Sunny Corner remains a beloved<br />

spot for locals and visitors alike. The ongoing<br />

dedication of Paul and his team promises a<br />

bright future for this cherished location.<br />

The transformation included clearing<br />

overgrown areas, unearthing old walls, and<br />

installing new amenities like benches, picnic<br />

tables, and accessible paths. A major rock fall in<br />

early 2021 led to the creation of a new seating<br />

area and a “Wild Patch” for natural growth.<br />

Self-funded through events like a Cornish<br />

Cream Tea afternoon, a crabbing competition,<br />

and a December carol service, the group aims<br />

to raise around £2,000 annually to maintain<br />

Puppy love<br />

for Nick<br />

Everyone knows Nick Cuthbert. He has<br />

been selling the Big Issue for about<br />

twenty years and stands in front of<br />

Marks & Spencer every week day. About<br />

seven months ago, he sadly lost his<br />

trusted companion, Bryony, a chocolate<br />

brown Labrador.<br />

He has been raising funds for, Last Chance<br />

Hotel, a charity that rescues dogs and gives<br />

them a sanctuary for a better life.To date he<br />

and his customers have raised over £1108.<br />

He was hoping to acquire a puppy from the<br />

charity however another puppy came up<br />

privately and through very generous customer<br />

donations, Nick was able to purchase Bracken.<br />

He couldn’t bring himself to get a chocolate<br />

Nick - seller of Big Issue and new puppy, Bracken<br />

labrador so he opted for a black one instead.<br />

He wanted to thank all the friends and<br />

customers for donating. I am sure you agree<br />

that Bracken is adorable!<br />

We hope that you have enjoyed the summer and<br />

are getting ready for the autumn. To help make<br />

<strong>Truro</strong> a more attractive destination for residents<br />

and visitors, we organise and support events<br />

throughout the year.<br />

In July, we were delighted to bring Children’s<br />

Day to <strong>Truro</strong> for the seventh year. Families<br />

enjoyed lots of mostly free entertainment and<br />

activities including mountain bike stunt shows,<br />

dance performances and have a-go sessions.<br />

Some of <strong>Truro</strong>’s shops and eateries joined in with<br />

family friendly in-store activities and offers.<br />

We have been continuing to support the monthly<br />

BIG <strong>Truro</strong> Market, by lending out our colourful<br />

gazebos to Cornwall Shop Small. The market,<br />

which is a collaboration by <strong>Truro</strong> Farmers Market<br />

and Cornwall Shop Small, helps generate footfall<br />

that will benefit many other resident businesses.<br />

As well as organising events, we provide services<br />

for <strong>Truro</strong> and <strong>Truro</strong>’s businesses and since April<br />

2023 we have arranged and funded a security<br />

resource for the city. In July the <strong>Truro</strong> Rangers<br />

On Sunday 28 July, we held the second <strong>Truro</strong><br />

Classic Car Show, which was a larger event than<br />

last year with vintage vehicles on Lemon Quay,<br />

Lemon Street and Boscawen St. It was a rare<br />

opportunity to see a wide variety of cherished<br />

classic and vintage vehicles in a city centre<br />

location.<br />

We were delighted with the visitor attendance for<br />

both events, which were sponsored by Coodes<br />

Solicitors.<br />

Free Blood<br />

Pressure Check<br />

at <strong>Truro</strong> Pharmacy<br />

in Tescos Store<br />

If you’re over 40 and not currently<br />

on blood pressure medication, take<br />

advantage of a new government<br />

initiative offering free blood pressure<br />

checks at <strong>Truro</strong> pharmacy in Tescos. This<br />

service, provided in conjunction with<br />

your local GP, is quick and convenient,<br />

taking no more than 10 minutes.<br />

Regardless of age, any adult can visit the<br />

pharmacy at Tescos for a free blood pressure<br />

test. Try and pick a time where it is not busy! If<br />

your results indicate high blood pressure, the<br />

pharmacist may offer you a 24-hour blood<br />

Askel Grohen<br />

As we enter Autumn and the nights<br />

begin to draw in, a mammal to watch<br />

out for as the sun is setting are bats.<br />

In Cornish, bats are called ‘Askel Grohen’<br />

which literally translates to leather wing, a<br />

fairly suited description of this small flying<br />

mammal. There are 17 species of bats known<br />

to breed in the UK, 12 of which are known to<br />

breed in Cornwall, and worldwide there are<br />

over 1400 species of bat with more still being<br />

discovered!<br />

All bats in the UK eat insects and each species<br />

hunts in its own way. Bats will eat on the<br />

wing (unless they’ve caught a large insect) as<br />

they need to eat a lot of insects to keep their<br />

energy up, a common pipistrelle can eat over<br />

3000 insects in one night! While bats are not<br />

blind, they rely on their hearing for hunting.<br />

Bats will produce clicking noises and when<br />

the sound hits off a surface it travels back to<br />

the bat who can then build a picture of its<br />

pressure monitor to<br />

wear. This device will<br />

measure your blood<br />

pressure every half hour<br />

during the day and<br />

hourly at night, with<br />

the results also sent<br />

to your GP.<br />

Don’t miss this great opportunity to check<br />

your blood pressure - especially since it’s free!<br />

For more information, scan the QR code.<br />

surroundings, both<br />

structures around<br />

it and prey flying<br />

nearby. This is<br />

called echolocation.<br />

As a bat closes in<br />

on its prey the<br />

clicks become more<br />

frequent as the<br />

sound doesn’t have<br />

as far to travel and<br />

it helps to provide the most up to date<br />

location of the insect. We can hear some<br />

of these clicks if a bat is flying overhead in<br />

a quiet area, but the best way to hear them<br />

hunting, and ID the type of bat, is using a<br />

bat detector.<br />

Our team runs bat walks with the Friends of<br />

Coosebean and Friends of Daubuz, where we<br />

bring along bat detectors for attendees to<br />

try as we walk along routes that often have<br />

bats flying around. Keep an eye out for<br />

Facebook events and posters to see when we<br />

are running these events and come along to<br />

learn a bit more about Askel Grohen!<br />

Rainbows visit<br />

Falmouth Lifeboat<br />

Station<br />

During the summer term, sixty young<br />

members from <strong>Truro</strong> Methodist<br />

Rainbows completed the Girlguiding<br />

South West England ‘Mayday Mayday’<br />

Challenge.<br />

Girls learned about four key water safety<br />

messages– stop and think, stay together,<br />

FLOAT, call 999 or 112 in an emergency – so<br />

they can be safe and have fun in and around<br />

water; celebrated the past, present, and future<br />

of the RNLI; raised £500 with a ‘Mayday Mile’<br />

fundraising event; and earned a special badge<br />

to mark the 200th anniversary of the RNLI.<br />

The highlight of this ‘Mayday Mayday’<br />

Challenge was their exciting tour of<br />

Falmouth Lifeboat Station, kindly arranged<br />

by volunteer teams. Rainbows were divided<br />

into small groups to be taken aboard the<br />

Severn class all-weather lifeboat and into the<br />

wheel house, be shown round the B class<br />

Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat, and see the crew<br />

kit ready for a ‘shout’. All the girls were really<br />

interested and asked lots of questions. When<br />

the Friday Rainbow Unit visited, both lifeboats<br />

were out on a major rescue in Falmouth Bay,<br />

which was a reminder of the importantand<br />

dangerous lifesaving work of the RNLI. The<br />

volunteer lifeboat crews practise regularly,<br />

so they are ready to go out to sea whenever<br />

there is an emergency.<br />

All Girlguiding Leaders are trained volunteers,<br />

who happily give their time to help all girls<br />

know they can do anything. Leaders find it<br />

such an enjoyable and rewarding way to<br />

volunteer. Additional volunteers are needed<br />

so Rainbows (aged 4-7), Brownies (7-10),<br />

Guides (10-14), and Rangers (14-18) can<br />

continue to experience the fun of exciting<br />

weekly meetings plus amazing challenges<br />

and adventures. Please register your interest<br />

https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/get-involved/<br />

become-a-volunteer/ or contact Tina & Claire<br />

(Division Commissioners) on carricknorth@<br />

girlguidingcornwall.org.uk for an informal chat.<br />

There are lots of fun and flexible ways to get<br />

involved in Girlguiding. Whatever your skills<br />

and interests, whether it is volunteering with<br />

girls directly or supporting behind the scenes,<br />

there is a role to suit you.<br />

Citizens Advice<br />

Cornwall Hidden<br />

Homeless Project<br />

Citizens Advice Cornwall and the<br />

University of Plymouth are carrying out<br />

new research into the issues of Hidden<br />

Homelessness in Cornwall and we need<br />

your help.<br />

Our advisers are seeing increasing numbers<br />

of people who may not consider themselves<br />

homeless but are trapped in precarious<br />

situations or just unable to move on with<br />

their loves because of the lack of affordable<br />

homes to rent or buy.<br />

While much attention is rightly focussed on<br />

people who are living rough on the streets,<br />

we’re also concerned about people whose<br />

situations might force them into hostels or<br />

actual homelessness.<br />

We’re looking for people in Cornwall to take<br />

part in our short anonymous online survey at<br />

citizensadvicecornwall.org.uk<br />

We want to hear your stories and opinions -<br />

you can also fill out the form for other people<br />

you know. We particularly want to hear from<br />

people who are:<br />

• Sofa surfing (sleeping on friend’s sofas and<br />

spare rooms)<br />

• Living in overcrowded accommodation and<br />

unable to afford to move out<br />

• Living with someone where the relationship<br />

has broken down, but neither person can<br />

move out<br />

• Living as an adult with parents where this<br />

is causing a problem, for example friction in<br />

relations, problems with sharing living space<br />

and financial arguments.<br />

We’re also looking for some people who<br />

might be prepared to speak to a researcher<br />

about their experiences. If you’re willing<br />

to take part in an interview, please<br />

contact Citizens Advice Cornwall’s<br />

Communications Officer, Wailim Wong, at<br />

THE YOUNG JOURNALIST<br />

The Bright Side<br />

Of Social Media<br />

Despite the misuse and dangers that come<br />

with the ever evolving social media, it is<br />

critical not to entirely discard the positive<br />

influence it can have.<br />

One effect of the wide use and availability of<br />

social media platforms is how it can be used to<br />

teach, allowing learning that is accessible.<br />

One example of this is youtube, which allows<br />

a range of obtainable information for free for<br />

all ages. Youtube has a variety of information<br />

from step by step cooking tutorials, to how to<br />

perfect calligraphy skills. Of course, social media<br />

such as youtube and tiktok, enables support<br />

for struggling individuals such as those facing<br />

exams, they can find resources for revision,<br />

tutoring, and a community of those in their<br />

same situation.<br />

These connections able to be formed via social<br />

media are key to how social media platforms<br />

can have an increasingly beneficial influence.<br />

The University of Portsmouth has outlined the<br />

benefits of using networking on social media, as<br />

well as Guideposts trust, ensuring it is a tool for<br />

the better when not misused.<br />

Linkedin in particular is a useful tool to those<br />

looking to build a network of connections most<br />

relevant to them and their career. In <strong>2024</strong> alone,<br />

Linkedin hires 25.6 people every minute via their<br />

platform, suggesting how functional it can be<br />

to job searches. Facebook is similar to Linkedin<br />

in how it enables business, but Facebook has<br />

a greater use as a tool for connecting people<br />

and allowing for communities to come together<br />

openly with similar interests or situations.<br />

A similar factor of social media involving<br />

its users is its ability to create and provide<br />

awareness on many issues. By providing a<br />

platform for individuals and larger movements<br />

to actively spread information and successfully<br />

gain a large audience in a minimal amount of<br />

time, social media can be a helpful device to<br />

people of all ages who want to expand their<br />

knowledge on social issues.<br />

To conclude, social media can absolutely be<br />

a force for good and we should use it as such,<br />

social media is only negative when its abilities<br />

are abused by the user. It is important to<br />

recognise the potential behind social media<br />

platforms to encourage us to take advantage<br />

of the benefits rather than focus on the<br />

negative side, particularly for the newest<br />

generations who have increasingly more<br />

available to social media due to its accessibility<br />

on practically all forms of technology.<br />

When using social media, it is vital to have<br />

understood how it can be dangerous or<br />

misused, in order to move forward safely<br />

and make the most use out of it.<br />

Offshore wind in<br />

the UK<br />

Offshore wind in the UK comes with many<br />

challenges such as supply chain bottlenecks,<br />

difficult maintenance coupled with harsh<br />

marine environments and contracts for<br />

difference pricing. However, as the UK<br />

creeps closer to the net zero by 2050 goal,<br />

the government, businesses and other<br />

players are continuing to move forwards<br />

towards improving offshore wind in the UK.<br />

The largest capacity offshore wind farm in the<br />

UK , called Dogger Bank 130 km off of the<br />

Yorkshire coast, was installed in 2023, using the<br />

Haliade-X 13MW turbine which is the 2nd most<br />

powerful commercially deployed wind turbine<br />

in the world. While this particular wind farm is<br />

fixed to the seabed, floating offshore is on the<br />

rise with a target of 5-10% of the total offshore<br />

turbines being floating. The benefits of floating<br />

offshore are potentially significant, though<br />

at this stage unproven, easier and cheaper<br />

installation and maintenance due to the<br />

moveability of turbines from land to water and<br />

vice versa. Furthermore, there is higher access<br />

to areas such as deeper water (typically greater<br />

than 60m) where structures cannot be built and<br />

lower environmental impact. Consolidation can<br />

be expected in coming years as companies<br />

discover the most cost-efficient ways of<br />

implementing floating devices and further<br />

advancements are made.<br />

As previously mentioned, the contract for<br />

different pricing can significantly impact<br />

offshore wind development as it affects the<br />

amount the government will contribute to<br />

projects. This was increased by 66% under the<br />

2022 to <strong>2024</strong> Conservative government and<br />

should allow for more offshore projects to<br />

be installed with more advanced technology<br />

and higher capacities. It is noted that<br />

offshore projects can acquire more funding<br />

if they can reduce their carbon footprint<br />

and demonstrate positive social impact on<br />

communities, thus providing another way for<br />

contractors to increase funding.<br />

As of current capacity the UK can supply 13.9<br />

GW offshore wind into the grid, a fourfold<br />

increase since 2012, with 77 GW of potential<br />

capacity in the project pipeline. This highlights<br />

the promising progress of development and<br />

innovation in UK offshore (1 GW can supply<br />

energy for approximately 700,000 homes!).<br />

To conclude, the UK is heading in a positive<br />

direction with its floating offshore and in<br />

coming years we will be seeing more<br />

sites similar to Dogger Bank coming into<br />

commercial use, moving us closer to the<br />

net zero by 2050 target.<br />

Park Yoga success!<br />

Park Yoga is a charity that was founded<br />

in 2017, with the mission to encourage<br />

people to step outdoors and engage<br />

with their local green spaces, move,<br />

breathe and find community to improve<br />

overall wellbeing. There are now over 40<br />

free yoga sessions which run throughout<br />

England at the same time on a Sunday<br />

morning via Park Yoga.<br />

Kimi has been leading<br />

the Park Yoga sessions<br />

in Boscawen Park, <strong>Truro</strong><br />

this summer, where it<br />

has launched for the<br />

first time with an<br />

astounding response.<br />

She believes greatly in<br />

the power of community<br />

and connection, and<br />

felt strongly that it was important for sessions to<br />

be offered for free, and for them to be open to all.<br />

Kimi has over 300 hours of teacher training<br />

experience, of which she gained in India. It<br />

felt important to her to travel to the birthplace of<br />

yoga to complete her studies, and she has felt<br />

called to share the magic of yoga with her local<br />

community.<br />

There has been much isolation in the last 5<br />

years, many people have suffered, feeling<br />

disconnected and alone. Connection via<br />

community is fundamental in improving the support,<br />

encouragement (and so collective wellness) of our city.<br />

The Park Yoga sessions really are for everyone, you<br />

can join just by coming along and sitting with the<br />

group. We breathe, we move, we cultivate a sense<br />

of presence and kapow - we are doing yoga!<br />

Sessions run until the 15th of <strong>September</strong>. We then<br />

break for Winter. By attending these sessions,<br />

some will seek out other local (perhaps donation<br />

based) sessions, or meet up with friends and<br />

continue this practice in smaller local groups.<br />

Practicing yoga isn’t always something that is<br />

done on a mat.<br />

You can meet Kimi at Pollen cafe as she owns and<br />

runs this in Victoria Gardens.<br />

Park Yoga is a nationwide charity that began in<br />

Poole, Dorset in 2017 for more information:<br />

Wadebridge ladies<br />

win Cornwall softball<br />

cricket finals again<br />

The Wadebridge Ladies’ softball cricket team<br />

triumphed at the Cornwall Ladies Softball<br />

Cricket Finals for the second consecutive<br />

year. The event, held at St Austell Cricket<br />

Club, brought together the top four teams:<br />

Wadebridge, St Minver, Paul, and Penzance.<br />

In the semi-finals, Wadebridge narrowly defeated<br />

Penzance in a tense match, reclaiming the lead<br />

with a wicket in the final over. Paul edged past St<br />

Minver by seven runs, setting up an exciting final<br />

against Wadebridge.<br />

The final was a thrilling contest. Wadebridge<br />

posted 295-4 from 16 overs, with steady scoring<br />

and quick running between wickets. Paul’s chase<br />

started strong, but Wadebridge’s spirited fielding<br />

and tight bowling turned the game around.<br />

With 21 runs needed from the last four overs,<br />

Wadebridge’s defence held firm, securing a<br />

20-run (net score) victory.<br />

Women and Girls Development Lead Nick<br />

Matthews praised the teams, saying, “The<br />

competition has been fantastic, with great<br />

spirit and high standards of cricket. The future<br />

of Ladies Cricket in Cornwall is bright!”<br />

easy as saying, “I am grateful for the sun<br />

shining today” or “Thank you for the<br />

beautiful scenery that I can see with my<br />

eyes” or “Thank you for the bits of my<br />

body that are well - thank you”.<br />

When things become difficult it is easy to sink<br />

into a hole of despair but by peeling away<br />

the negativity and finding a few things to be<br />

grateful for, life doesn’t seem quite as bad.<br />

If you would like to share some interesting<br />
