The auction was held at Lay’s Auctioneers in Penzance on 7 August. The ingot, lot 129, was the very last ingot of tin to be smelted in Cornwall at Wheal Jane, following the closure of South Crofty mine in 1998.

112 keen cyclists from across the South West unleashed their pedal power at the weekend by completing a 205-mile cycling challenge, raising more than £320,000 for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

Little Harbour children’s hospice in St Austell is offering community talks about the sensory experiences provided at the hospice.

These sessions are being offered to groups, schools and businesses to raise awareness about the work Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) does for local families whose child has a life-limiting condition.

For the babies, children and young people CHSW cares for, sensory experiences are so important to help them interact with the people and environment around them.

A local care centre in Plymouth has raised over £600 for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

Greenacres Care Centre in Mannamead, Plymouth, held a Cream Tea on Friday 30 May to raise funds for the charity after residents voted to support them for the 2nd year running.

Residents, families, friends and staff enjoyed home baked scones, singing and entertainment on a lovely, sunny afternoon.

The event was a huge success, and the owners of the Care Centre match funded the amount raised meaning even more money could be donated to CHSW to help its vital work.
