Here at The Sunrise Appeal we were delighted to learn that Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth had chosen us to be their Charity for 2023.

Earlier in the year their apprentices came to the Centre and worked on our small garden.

Then in April a Gala Ball was held at The Falmouth Hotel. Not only was a great evening had by all of us that attended, a fantastic £5470.85 was raised from the sale of tickets and a raffle with some very special prizes donated by local businesses.

We understand that more events are planned throughout the year and we are most grateful to everyone at the shipyard for their support.

Last week it was finally possible to go down to Falmouth to collect a cheque from Josh, chair of the Charity Committee and Jenny who is HR and committee member.
