PROMOTE THE PROMENADE — FUNDRAISING UPDATE!

PROMOTE THE PROMENADE — £450 RAISED, £550 TO GO! Two active projects. One shared purpose: promoting Penzance and supporting our local businesses. Since November 2025, I have been working to promote Penzance through community-led publicity, printed materials, business engagement and practical promotional projects. Through Promote Penzance Positively CIC (PPPCIC), I want to help more people discover the businesses, attractions and facilities that make our town worth visiting. Today, I want to share an update on our Promote the Promenade fundraising campaign, thank those who have supported it, and clarify how it connects with my other ongoing initiative, Penzance Fashion Hub .

PROMOTING PENZANCE PROMENADE A community-led initiative for the coming season

  PROMOTING PENZANCE PROMENADE A community-led initiative for the coming season Our Promenade. Our Community. Our Opportunity. Who is responsible? The Promenade falls under the responsibility of Cornwall Council, rather than Penzance Town Council. This initiative is about what we, as residents and businesses, can do together to promote this important local asset for everyone's benefit. A shared community effort. Residents and businesses are coming together to help raise the profile of the Promenade, attract visitors and encourage people to explore and support the businesses that make this place special. Our businesses are part of its heritage. The businesses that have traded here through the years, alongside those trading today, are the bricks and mortar of our local identity. They give the Promenade its character and continuity. As established members of our community, they have a valuable opportunity to help sh...

It is intended to distinguish between what is proposed, what is underway and what has already been produced or undertaken . Where supporting material is available, it can be attached to the relevant evidence item. EVIDENCE 00 THE FIRST INVESTMENT Putting my own money behind the idea The Penzance Fashion Hub did not begin with Council funding, external funding or business contributions. It began with an idea that I personally believed could benefit Penzance. Before asking local businesses to contribute, I personally paid for the first promotional postcard. I did this for a straightforward reason: I believed in what I was doing, so I put my own money where my mouth was. I wanted to demonstrate the idea before asking anybody else to participate. The first postcard turned a conversation into something tangible. Busi...
