Our chosen charity of the year is The Hugs Foundation, based right here in Bodmin, who are a rescue and rehabilitation charity for horses, ponies and other animals that have been mistreated, abandoned or unwanted. The charity also provides a range of support to people who struggle with various emotional, physical and mental health conditions.

The team at Hugs teach life skills, coping strategies and resilience for lifelong impact through therapeutic learning, animal assisted interventions and eco-therapy. Their services are delivered by a team of professionally qualified and experienced staff who do an amazing job to help those in need, and we are just so fortunate to have such an incredible charity based right here in Bodmin.

As a major employer in Bodmin, we recognise the importance of supporting our community.

With charities seeing an increase in demand for their services, we are delighted to have been able to offer so much charitable support in 2023.
