When The Clothes Horse met Her Majesty the Queen
At the beginning of September myself and one of our volunteers Fiona had the pleasure of attending an event hosted by Cornwall Community Foundation (CCF) where Her Majesty the Queen was going to be a guest. Cornwall Community Foundation have supported and funded The Clothes Horse since we began over nine years ago and we are so grateful for them.

Why we moved and next steps for The Clothes Horse
Whilst we were looking for a new premises we always had you in mind. We spent time speaking to many of you who come to see us and knew that you wanted somewhere you could easily find, a place where you could still find great quality clothes for your family as well as a place where you could stay and chat to friends. We feel we have found this place and we are excited.

Being sustainable at Christmas
We can choose to be sustainable with many parts of Christmas and to consciously think about our gifts as well.
Here are a few sustainable and reusable suggestions for Christmas…
Reuse where you can - it is super exciting I find getting out the Christmas decks that have been tucked away and revisiting old memories, baubles and re decorating your home.
Lots of birthdays…
What clothes they no longer need, any clothes that need repairing (thanks mum!) As well as any winter clothes the boys may need this season.
Summer Activities
I love summer, spending time with the boys and just being together. To keep things easy we go outside lots as a family. We go often to the beach, woods as well as adventures exploring new parts of Cornwall or revisiting favourites. Sometimes we take the train or bus to mix things up make it a bit more exciting.
Around Cornwall
I love living in Cornwall. I was born and breed in Cornwall and I feel passionate about this county. It is beautiful, wild, old and special.
Simple days
I decided to stop. To not pack in our days, to let the boys just rest. When I started to do this it was a relief, I guess I didn’t really want to be cramming in too much into each day either, I wanted to take things slow.
