Transformation Cornwall strengthens faith based social action in Cornwall. We provide infrastructure and capacity building support to Cornish groups, churches, faith and non-faith based organisations to enable them to respond to issues of poverty, deprivation and marginalisation in their area.
We work in three ways:
· Delivering the Meet the Funders Programme
· 1:1 work with churches and faith groups in Cornwall
· Strengthening links between faith and mainstream organisations
In our third work stream, since the Coronavirus Crisis, we have been working to address food poverty in Cornwall, particularly supporting the responses of our wonderful Cornish Foodbanks. Our work has included:
Pulling together fortnightly updates with direct details of the Cornish Foodbanks to help:
· Customers needing Foodbank support.
· Donators of food, time and money.
· Strengthen, (and lessen), the work of the many dedicated and wonderful people behind the foodbanks. The update is available HERE
Pulling together two regular funding lists:
- Our first grants list details possible funders that might support the work of Foodbanks, grass-root groups, and faith based social action projects in Cornwall.
- Our second list details hardship grants for individuals in need. The latest lists are available HERE
We've written a handy telephone signposting information sheet for Foodbanks and grassroot organisations across Cornwall. With details of services in Cornwall and beyond who offer advice and support with issues such as debt, housing, employment, disabilities, mental health, young people etc – all at the end of a phone The telephone list is available HERE
