THE Lord Bishop of Truro the Rt Rev Tim Thornton and the Chair of Cornwall Methodist District Rev Steve Wild launched Cornwall's first community launderette on Friday, May 3 in Camelford.

Camelford Community Launderette is a project developed in response to identified local need, and is located on the high street, just behind the Methodist Chapel.

The event started at the town's St Thomas Church as churchwarden and founding member of Camelford Community Launderette Brenda Oliver told the story of the launderette as she addressed the group, which included a Nigerian Methodist Bishop visiting Cornwall to see examples of church work in the UK.
