A day spent in the sunshine at St Michael’s Mount

We were delighted to be invited back to visit the stunning Spring Gardens at St Michael’s Mount in our latest community event.

On 17th April, we brought 54 of our amazing residents and supporters together to set off on a truly special trip to one of Cornwall’s most iconic landmarks- St Michael’s Mount.

We want to say a big thank you to the team at St Michael’s Mount for their kindness and generosity in hosting us on the day, and with a special introduction to the Spring Gardens from Jen Holme. We are so grateful to our Patrons, Lord and Lady St Levan, whose support makes a huge difference to our work to end homelessness in Cornwall.

Everyone had a fantastic time travelling to the mount by boat, strolling through the gardens and exploring the historic castle. For us, this day was more than just a fun event – it was an incredible opportunity for our community to come together and share experiences. For some, this was their first trip to St Michael’s Mount, despite living in Cornwall their whole life. For others, it was a chance to connect with our community of like-minded supporters.
