Every year, Age UK Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly host a large marquee (opposite the Members area) at the Royal Showground and arrange transport, entry, food, refreshments and a whole lot of fun for a specific region of Cornwall. This time out we are supporting people and community groups in Kerrier and Penwith areas.
This year, we also celebrate 50 years as a Charity #GoForGold - with TAP (Transport Access People) also celebrating 20 Years there has never been a better time to shout about our services and support. It has been our pleasure to inspire people and communities to age well for 50 years. We hope you can enjoy a packed year of celebrations with us that are centred on inclusivity, intergenerational connection, and sustainability.
Our theme this year is Going to Seed...Young and Old - and with help from the Eden Project and Trevisker Community Meadow, we will be handing out Corn Cockle seed packets to celebrate and get everyone involved.
On the card inside the packet, we are asking you to create a drawing using coloured pencils, paint or pens to illustrate your gardening inspirations & dreams... be as creative as you like. The best three will WIN a garden centre voucher.
Send your creations to facebook.com/AgeUKCornwall or twitter.com/AgeUKCornwall - use the hashtag #seedcornwall.
Look out for the pink aproned volunteers to get your pack!
Please pop along and say hello, we have a team on hand to help you with anything you need. A huge thank you to our volunteers, staff, partners and the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association for supporting us to put on a stellar event for local residents.
