A community centre in Tuckingmill, Camborne, is set to be transformed thanks to a near-£240,000 funding boost awarded by Cornwall Council in cash secured from housing developers through the planning process.
All Saints Church Community Centre, which is a registered charity, successfully applied for £239,965 from Cornwall Council to fund improvements.
Funding for the project came from developers’ contributions secured by the Council when a development of new homes was given planning permission off Foundry Road in the Pengegon area of Camborne.
When a planning application is submitted the Council secures such money through what is known as a Section 106 agreement.
