🏆 WE'RE UP FOR FOUR NATIONAL AWARDS! 🏆
What a moment for our team! ❤️

The British Institute of Innkeeping (BII) NITA (National Innovation and Training Awards) finalists have been announced and we're absolutely thrilled to have FOUR finalist places:

🎓 Megan | Currently completing her Level 3 Hospitality Leadership Apprenticeship after successfully completing Level 2

🎓 Chloe | Our Assistant Manager, developing her leadership and business skills through a two-year Level 4 Hospitality Management Apprenticeship after completing her Level 3.

⭐ Jack | Currently completing an internship with us and shortlisted for the Rising Star Award

🌱 OUR TEAM | Finalists for the Sustainability Award, recognising our commitment to consume less, but to do more.

Behind every busy day there is so much happening that guests don't always get to see: training, mentoring, learning, developing new skills, creating career opportunities, inspiring career pathways and finding better, more sustainable ways of doing things.

To have that work recognised on a national stage means an enormous amount to us.

We could not be prouder of Megan, Chloe, Jack and our whole team.

The final judging takes place next week, so please join us in wishing them all the very best of luck my commenting below! 🤞🍀🏆
Four finalists. One team. A very proud pub. ❤️

Kenwyn Community Fund Panel Meeting Tonight

This evening, the Kenwyn Community Fund Panel will come together to consider 11 applications requesting more than £90,000 of funding from the Community Benefit Fund.

The panel is made up of seven local representatives, including four parish residents and three parish councillors, who volunteer their time to carefully review each application and ensure funding is invested where it can make the greatest positive impact within our communities.

This round of applications covers a diverse range of projects, including improvements to community facilities, initiatives that support health and wellbeing, activities that encourage participation in sports and recreation, environmental enhancements, educational opportunities, and projects that help bring people together and reduce isolation.

With a fund pot of more than £290,000 available to support local projects with Kenwyn Parish, the Community Benefit Fund continues to provide significant investment into initiatives that make a lasting difference for local people.

The panel meets up to four times each year, giving community groups, charities, voluntary organisations and other eligible bodies regular opportunities to apply for support.

If your organisation has an idea or project that could benefit the local community, we'd encourage you to find out more about the fund, eligibility criteria and application process by visiting:

A huge thank you to our panel members for their commitment to ensuring these funds are used to create lasting community benefit across the parish.
