The Truro Lifehouse is our desire to help the people of Truro and Cornwall with life. The current facilities are tired and not fit for purpose, yet we are still able to offer a home for some crucial services but we cannot sustain this without a total redevelopment of the site.
Raffingers Foundation was formed in 2016 by colleagues at Raffingers. The charity was created in memory of Jason Kew, a dear husband and friend, who sadly lost his life to pancreatic cancer, as well as to honour those family members of the firm who have been lost to ovarian cancer. Approximately, 4% of pancreatic cancer survivors will live for up to five years after being diagnosed; this figure is 46% for those affected by ovarian cancer. The heartache these cancers cause and the bleak statistics, stirred the colleagues at Raffingers into action. Now, this volunteer lead charity donates every single penny it raises towards helping those affected by these cancers. This is done in two ways:· · 1. Money donated directly to Pancreatic Cancer Research UK and Ovarian Cancer Action to help fund scientific research, specialist staff and equipment· 2. A proportion of the money is given directly to families affected by these cancers and experiencing financial difficulties. This money is used to help with costs, such as private counselling for any family members, training and equipment (email [email protected] to find out more)We greatly appreciate all donations and hope you will check this page often to see what events we have coming up.

Temwa is an organisation that raises funds to implement community-based projects in Malawi, southern Africa. Temwa is based in an area called Usisya, on the north shore of Lake Malawi. This remote area has no electricity, no running water and is severely affected by the AIDS epidemic. Due to poor road and telecommunications infrastructure, public services and other relief efforts are very limited. Overseen by a project Manager in Malawi, Temwa runs a series of programmes that are aimed at proving sustainable, community-driven development in four key areas: Health education, Skills development, Agriculture and irrigation and Schools support. In the future Temwa plans to establish similar schemes in other parts of Malawi.
