Trans Pennine Challenge
Well done to Serendipity’s Pawlet and Les who along with Paul and Ruby recently took on the Trans Pennine Challenge, walking from Manchester to Sheffield while battling some very wet and windy weather, to raise money for the NSPCC.

Midnight Mermaid Walk and Pajama Party!
Congratulations to all who took part in the Midnight Mermaid Walk!
The evening kicked off with entertainment by the very talented Kezia who enchanted the audience with her haunting melodies, while Jonny Fenner got our toes tapping with his upbeat soulful tunes, with appearances from Miss Cornwall 2013, Rosalie Douglas, and BBC Spotlight presenter, Rebecca Wills.
Over 30 determined ladies (and gentlemen) completed the marathon walk around the idyllic seaside village of St Mawes and we managed to raise over £5,500 in aid of Breast Cancer Care at The Mermaid Centre, in Truro.
