WELCOME TO THE CORNISH BANK!
We are a vibrant, not for profit, community arts space in the centre of Falmouth, Cornwall. Hosting gigs, events and food nearly every night of the week it’s a pretty exciting place to be a part of. Please check out our listings and come and support local music, food and arts.
The Food Bank Canteen Crowdfunder
Whilst this video is a lot of fun we are trying to help tackle a much deeper issue that is effecting not just our community but communities across the country. Benefit cuts and unjust social order under a Tory government have left hundreds of thousands hungry in one of the richest countries in the world.
Food Bank’s shouldn’t have to exist but their usage has increased by a staggering 81% in five years. They provided more than 2.1 million emergency food parcels between April 2021 and March 2022; 832,000 of these were for children.
Any one of us could find ourselves in need of their support and we feel it is absolutely imperative that as community space we support them to the best of our abilities.
The Bank Canteen is a not-for-profit project, using local and sustainable produce. Tessa J (top chef extraordinaire) has hit our kitchen with effervescence, cooking up hot, nutritious dinners for all to enjoy.
We want to make these delicious meals available to all those who need some extra support. With support from you guys we will provide meal tokens to Falmouth & Penryn Food Bank. We hope this will go a small way in helping relieve the cost of living crisis in our town and make everyone feel welcome in our community space.
Please donate what you can and share our Crowdfunder far and wide!
