Amazing news for Penzance! 🥳🙏 @cornwallwild

Amazing news for Penzance! 🥳🙏

@cornwallwildlifetrust has landed almost £250,000 in funding to help people in Mounts Bay connect with nature 🌿

It's part of their new Your Shore Network project and will aim to engage over 1,000 children and young people, helping local families, businesses and community groups to learn more about Mounts Bay’s unique marine life 🐬

Have you seen anything particularly special in our waters this winter? 🌊

🌊🌳💚 5 things to look forward to in #Penza

🌊🌳💚 5 things to look forward to in #Penzance in 2022. Want more stories like this? Sign up for our newsletter at link in bio.

🏛️ Town Deal Fund
Last year, it was confirmed Penzance and #Newlyn would be awarded £21.5m from the #TownDealFund to support regeneration of the local area. This year, work begins on several projects, including a more sustainable transport network and bringing key buildings back into use in the community.

🚲 Healthy Streets PZ
Healthy Streets PZ is already well underway. Work on making the Western Prom, followed by Alexander Road, more pedestrian-friendly starts in the next couple of months. Traffic flow and parking will also be improved in Alexander Road.

☀️#GolowanFestival
Our favourite festival of the year returns to Penzance’s streets this summer after a two-year hiatus. #Golowan is no doubt one of Penzance’s most anticipated events, enjoyed by thousands and culminating in the biggest day of celebration - #MazeyDay. We’re excited to be working in partnership with the team again, reducing its impact through plastic-free and other environmental initiatives.

👩‍💼🧑🏾‍💼Community Collaborations
As Sustainable Penzance grows, we’re excited to host more workshops in 2022. We’ll continue to join people together through #PlasticFreePenzance and we’ll also focus on bringing together organisations and individuals working on environment projects across the town, so we can be even stronger.

🐚 Community Events
Beach & street cleans start back up in February as we kickstart our contribution to #SurfersAgainstSewage's #MillionMileClean. Our community cleans are more than just a plastic pick up, this year we will continue to collect evidence on the biggest polluters.

💚😁 The Penzance community came together and made amazing things happen for people and planet last year. 🌊🌳🌍

Here's a reminder of six things we achieved together in 2021. 🎉

(Want to get more stories like these? Subscribe to our newsletter at link in bio.)

🥤Refill Penzance launched
We launched a community refill scheme in Penzance to help locals and visitors avoid single use plastic and support local high street businesses.

🚲 Reduced plastic at Tour of Britain
Tackling plastic waste is a tough job – especially when it comes to big events. But as the people of Penzance welcomed the Tour of Britain to town, we were pleased there were signs that things are changing.

🏠We sent action kits to every home in Penzance
We’re creating a wave of positive change everyone can be part of, and it starts at home. That's why we sent a copy of our tool kit to every home in Penzance.

🌊 £21.5m Town Deal success
The town was awarded £21.5m through the Town’s Deal Fund. Sustainable PZ sit as a community representative on the board for this vital funding pot for the future of the town – and people and planet are already featuring much higher up the pecking order than they ever have done before in decision making.

🏊🏽 Hundreds join Global Day of Action in Penzance
Hundreds of people lined @jubileepool to watch ‘Out of Sink’ raise awareness of rising sea levels and the need for global leaders to take urgent action on the climate crisis.

🌼 Building a community hub
New and incredible projects are happening all the time in Penzance, supporting and evolving our vibrant community for generations to come – and The Gardeners' House project is no exception.

We’re working to bring together our community to protect the environment and create a more sustainable way of living, working and doing business.
