PEOPLE in and around Launceston can join in a celebration of local groups that have received Community Chest grants and find out more about superfast broadband at the Launceston Community Network Panel meeting on Wednesday, June 15 in Launceston Town Hall.
Some of the community groups in the Launceston Community Network area that have received Cornwall Councillor Community Chest grants will be on hand with displays about their work, including Films Launceston in the Community (FLIC), Lanstephan Area Play Park, Launceston Chamber of Commerce, Altarnun and Bolventor Play Group and 1st Stoke Climsland Scouts.
Last year Cornwall Councillors made 29 grants totalling £10,000 to local community groups, which also attracted more than £60,000 of match funding.
The meeting will also include an update on the superfast broadband project from Superfast Cornwall Programme Manager Julian Cowans and a discussion of Local Devolution Fund applications.

The meeting is also an opportunity to talk to your Cornwall Councillor about whether they can support an application from your community group for a Community Chest grant this year.
