Hi All, The Tanya’s Courage Trust (supporting young people affected by cancer) are once again holding their Christmas Market in St Austell Town.

The event is taking place on Saturday 7th December and will run from 10am until 5pm.
This will be an indoor event in the old peacocks unit in white river place. This date is probably the busiest day of the year in St Austell.
Last year was a huge success.
We hope to see lots of you there to help us make this a fantastic day for the charity and our local community.

Regards Iris

We’d like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest members of staff, we have had some new members join our amazing team since December, but we’ve not had a chance to officially welcome everyone yet, so here we go, a massive warm welcome to:

Marlene – St Austell
Dragora – St Austell
Sara – Bodmin
Don – Bodmin
Victoria – Penryn
Bex – Penryn

We know they will be amazing assets to our team!

So we are very excited here at Tanya’s Courage Trust, we have been given a wonderful opportunity from our lovely Landlord in St Austell to have a pop up shop in the main street, whilst he looks for new tenants. We have moved our main store now into Fore Street, and our previous shop is being transformed into a beautiful seasonal shop, seeling everything for all seasons, from Halloween, Christmas, right through to Valentines and Easter.

We are very excited to open the seasonal shop, the main shop is now open and receiving lots of positive feedback.

Once we open the seasonal shop, we will announce on ouyr Social Media Platform as well as on here.

As per our other shops and the government guidelines, the seasonal shop will also have measures in place to coincide with the new policies etc given by the government.

We look forward to you seeing our new adventure.

Thank you again for the support.
