Porthleven Town Council Awards Funding Grant to Local Food Festival

In a recent meeting, the Porthleven Town Council announced its support for the Porthleven Food Festival by awarding a funding grant.

The grant is earmarked for a creative project designed to engage children in healthy cooking practices. The funded project will see the design and printing of postcards that feature a healthy recipe. These postcards are intended for children to take home, encouraging them to try cooking the featured recipe with their family members. Additionally, the grant will support the creation of a treasure trail around Porthleven, aiming to further enrich the community’s involvement in the festival.

The Porthleven Food Festival is known for its efforts to bring together the local community through food and fun, and this grant is expected to add a valuable dimension to its outreach. The initiative not only promotes healthy eating among children but also encourages families to explore and appreciate their local surroundings through the treasure trail.

This year, the Porthleven Town Council has also extended its support to various other community groups and activities. Grants have been awarded to the Porthleven Arts Community, the Royal British Legion, and the Porthleven Bowling Club, reflecting the council’s commitment to fostering a vibrant and engaged community across a range of interests and causes.

The Town Council has expressed its openness to consider further requests for support from local groups, charities, and clubs. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out with details of their proposals via email to townclerk@porthleventc.org.uk. This ongoing support underscores the council’s dedication to nurturing the welfare and development of the Porthleven community through diverse and meaningful projects.
