CCF Provides Grant to WAC through Charles Reynolds Fund

Thanks to the generosity of Charles Reynolds, owner of Truro based medical device technology business CJ Medical and founder of The Charles Reynolds Foundation, a new fund was launched last year with Cornwall Community Foundation to support community groups and organisations tackling the effects of generational poverty.

In its first round of grant-awarding The Charles Reynolds Fund saw a total of £16,000 awarded to five community groups across Cornwall including Whole Again Communities, Wild Young Parents Project and St Ives RFC Youth Section.

Whole Again Communities received a grant of £5,000. The funding was used to enable us to distribute healthy food parcels to local households, and to run virtual cooking workshops which has helped teach people to grow and cook good quality, affordable food from scratch.

Tamas Haydu, Chief Executive of Cornwall Community Foundation said, “We are very grateful to Charles Reynolds for setting up his fund to break the cycle of poverty for people in Cornwall. It is great to see the grants supporting different groups continuing their vital work of improving people’s lives.”
