Pictured above is Boomhall. We have awarded four grants to Boomhall Trust since 2020 to support plans to breathe new life into the whole estate and redevelop it into an accessible and shared public space for the use, enjoyment, wellbeing, education and inspiration of present and future generations.

Pictured above is the former Passmore Edwards Library in Redruth, which has now been brought back into use as The Ladder – a new arts & culture hub, with studios, workspaces and rehearsal rooms, alongside community and cultural facilities. We have supported this project with 4 grants since 2021.
