Charity

Cornwall is a beautiful peninsula and as a result the Cornish have a close relationship with the sea.  When it came to choosing a charity for us to support the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) was the natural choice.

Throughout 2008 Proper Cornish Food Company and sister company Furniss of Cornwall will be running various charity events including the Dragon Boat Racing in Falmouth and other smaller events during the coming year.
