Citizens Advice Cornwall Community Fundraising Manager, Tamsin Chapman-Gunner, said:

“We are delighted to be able to host a Christmas event at St Austell Brewery this year. As many people are going to struggle this winter, with one in four people expected to be unable to pay their energy bills, it’s more important now than ever that we raise money to help our services to continue and grow to meet the need.

“We hope that lots of people will join us for what promises to be a very festive evening”

Tamsyn Allington, People & Communications Director at St Austell Brewery, said: “We are looking forward to co-hosting what promises to be a fun festive event for all the family, and one that will also be helping support a fantastic local charity in Citizens Advice Cornwall. St Austell Brewery has long been committed to giving back to the community, and there has never been a more pressing time to be there for the people who need it most.”

There will be a limited number of stalls at the event, half of which are already sold but if anyone is interested in a stall the cost is ￡25 plus a donation to the raffle please email [email protected] for availability.
