Feet on the Street: Street Pastors returning to Falmouth
Great news for Falmouth….’Street Pastors’ are coming back but this time as an independent charity called ‘Feet on the Street’! We would love you to join us in any way that you can, whether that be joining us for an early evening or late night shift once a month, joining our prayer whatsapp group or donating any items or funds towards this great cause. We would also love to have one person from each church as our link so that we can keep you up to date with this wonderful community initiative – if you would like to be this person please let us know.
We are back out on the streets from the 14th September and just working on our website and social media platforms but in the meantime we do have an email – feetonthestreetfalmouth@gmail.com. (Please could you put this news into your church newsletters and notices to help us spread the word!)

While we are not open today (Bank Holiday Monday) we thought we would take the opportunity to thank the lovely lady, who made these beautiful earrings and donated them for sale!
With a suggested price of £3 for the hypoallergenic earrings and £5 for the gem stone and silver findings earrings- they are a beautiful and reasonably priced gift.
All while your gift supports the work of your local Foodbank too!
We are passionately grateful to all our supporters in our wonderful community, who never fail to surprise us with the holistic ways they support us! THANK
YOU!! 🙏 😊

🚨 Since the start of 2024 over 6.5 tonnes of food has been given to people in need in Truro and mid Cornwall. 4.5 tonnes has been collected from donors in supermarkets, 1.5 tonnes has been donated by churches, community groups and individuals. We have bought the rest.
💚 When you are shopping this weekend, if you could donate an item or 2 from the list, you will be helping local people in need. Our stocks are low – we need your help. 💚💚
