We are so excited about the Cornwall Air Ambulance Charity Day which is taking place on Saturday 14th March!

For the whole day, we will be waiving our admission fee in exchange for visitors making a donation to the charity. Their volunteers will be manning our Ticket Office and every single penny of the suggested £9 per person admission will go straight to help them continue their lifesaving work.

Come and meet members of the crew, see some of the equipment they use including one of their Rapid Response Vehicles and get involved in lots of activities. There will also be the chance to meet their mascot Aircrew Andy too!

Find out more - click the link in the comments.

(Lappa Valley Members will still enjoy free entry - but of course welcome to make a donation too!)

Special Educational Needs services are struggling. The SEND and ECHP system has let many children and parents down.

The Government is launching its Schools White Paper today, with plans to overhaul the whole SEND system, and is asking parents, carers, professionals, and young people to share their experiences.

📅 Friday 13th March,
🕒 9:30am - 12:30pm,
📍 The Old Cattle Market, Helston.

Bringing together families, professionals, and senior leaders from Cornwall Council’s SEND service. This summit aims to ensure that voices from Cornwall are heard — openly, honestly, and constructively — and that lived experience informs both local practice and national policy.

👉 Register your interest in the SEND Summit here: https://forms.gle/ErHhpnRfnQT3qyev6

An agenda for the summit will be shared in advance. Further details to follow.
