Porthcurno has received a Coastal Communities grant to boost our economic development. Read about the many possibilities here, think about it, talk about it, join in. Your input is needed, and is very welcome.

Grants for Small Local Business 2017...

Grant funding of £2,500 to £35,000 is available to local businesses investing in expansion - details and applications are at Local Action Cornwall. This EU funding was aimed at businesses with less than 100 employees but may be cancelled because 56% of those who actually voted in Cornwall voted to exit the EU and downgrade to the slow lane, losing all the benefits of EU membership. Will they now also remove the EU funded fibre Superfast Broadband from Cornwall? That would help Brexit voters in their drive to impose poverty and isolation on everyone.
