Porthtowan Together

A Community Group based in Porthtowan whose aim is to explore community needs and to come together to meet those needs as much as possible. To foster inclusion for all, facilitate sharing and looking after each other. In collaboration with Porthtowan and Surrounds XR, the group offer support to anyone in the locality who needs help with shopping, child care, transport, collecting prescriptions & medication, dog walking, combating loneliness, any other issues. ‘We don’t heal in isolation, but in community.’ S Kelley Harrell, Gift of the Dreamtime. The group has hosted a very successful ‘Eat and Swap’ in the Village Hall, an event to get the Porthtowan community together to share free veggie lunch, exchange unwanted items and share ideas about new initiatives, groups, events or services the village needs. Many exciting ideas seeded at this event from Social activities for adults, a Youth group with a focus on sustainability and ecological support, Food Bank, Community Gardening events, and many more. Further ‘Eat and Swap’ and Community events are planned for the future when this is possible.
