Christmas Tree Festival groups
Feet on the Street
Feet on the Street is a ‘churches together’ charity aiming to provide extra support and care for people at night in Falmouth. At night people can get into various kinds of difficulties; under the influence of drugs or alcohol, disorientated by mental illness, lost in unfamiliar surroundings, or struggling with loneliness. We offer a welcome face, a non-judgmental listening ear and signposting to other support services where appropriate. We can also offer small items of practical help like water, sweets, vomit bags, flip flops, and we carry a basic first aid kit to assist and support people until they are deemed safe. We aim to provide hope, compassion and a calming presence to vulnerable people in need.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. We are one crew of volunteers from the brave lads and ladies who go out to sea in all weathers to the other volunteers and fundraisers in their diverse roles.

These give the opportunity for creative learning through play, an in-depth experience of the natural world and a lot of muddy fun out in nature!
The children are encouraged to work together to overcome challenges and explore boundaries, through a range of activities and games that aim to boost self-esteem, increase confidence and promote social skills..
Falmouth Stroke Club
We are a longstanding active stroke club run by volunteers and open to stroke survivors and carers in the Falmouth area. We meet twice monthly on the 1st and 3rd Friday afternoons of the month at St Mary’s Church Hall, Falmouth. Our Stroke Cafe runs at Princess Pavilion on the last Tuesday of the month from 10am to 12pm.
Our members enjoy the friendly atmosphere and activities that we provide to support members. We have speakers and also visits to nearby attractions such as local gardens which always involves a cup of tea and lot of supportive chat.

Falmouth and District Childminders

Childminders are self-employed and registered with Ofsted to care for children aged 4 weeks and over and usually work in their own home. Childminders offer professional home-away-from-home childcare. They look after small groups of children of different ages. They work closely with parents and carers to provide bespoke care, following the same statutory guidance as pre-schools and nurseries.

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School
This year, we have thoroughly enjoyed delving into the fascinating theme of knitting. Our exploration included tracing its origins, discovering that the craft dates back to the time of the Ancient Egyptians. With a focus on working with wool, we embarked on creating intricate and beautiful woolen snowflakes. The children demonstrated tremendous effort and enthusiasm throughout the process, making it a highly engaging and rewarding experience for all involved.
