NEWSWAVE - In Your Corner

Join our reporter Tom Howe for NEWSWAVE, your weekly rundown of the top stories happening across St Austell and surrounding areas. In the latest episode, we join Hannah and Becky Cheetham, the creators of Cheethams with Dreams, to learn more about their movement promoting disability awareness, LGBTQ+ rights, mental health advocacy - and their inspirational bucket‑list journey. We check in with Mandy Jane from St Mawes Players, who tells us all about their unique triple‑bill pantomime production bringing a packed evening of laughs to the community. As well as that, we take a trip into National Apprenticeship Week with Ruth Forrest from HM Revenue and Customs, who discusses the Skills for Life theme and why young people should check their Child Trust Fund. We hear from John Evers from the Duchy Health Charity, Richard Powers from England Boxing, Rivers from Newquay Boxing Academy, and Sonia Bradley from The CHAOS Group who explain how the ‘In Your Corner’ non-contact boxing and mentoring programme is transforming young lives and reducing anti-social behaviour… …and we welcome Harpreet Kaur, Community Events Manager at ShelterBox, who shares details of this year’s Tent for Lent fundraiser supporting families affected by disaster and conflict worldwide.If you live or work in the St Austell area and have a news story for us, contact [email protected].
