Sunrise is a pioneering charity dedicated to offering solace and support through music, art, and well-being activities. Founded by Elliott and Serena Jolly, the charity emerged from a personal tragedy—the loss of Serena’s younger brother, Sonny, to suicide in January 2019. In his memory, Sunrise aims to create a nurturing environment for those grappling with similar losses.

As the community rallies behind Sunrise Cornwall, the excitement builds for the upcoming draw, showcasing the power of unity and generosity in supporting invaluable community services.
