A Trelawny Shout at St Mary’s Church, Callington, has helped raise £1,000.

Music during the St Piran's Day celebration in Callington was provided by Wasson and the Kelliwik Golowi Band.

Around 150 local people turned out to support the sell-out joint charity fundraiser at the church.

The evening included singing led by the Kelliwik Golowi Band who host a festival of the same name in Callington each year, and the Wasson Shanty group from Calstock.

A spokesperson for the church said: “A huge thanks to all who came to the Trelawny Shout at St Piran’s at St Marys last night. You helped us raise over £1,000.

“We want to contribute to our surrounding community working closely with local charities and for this event in particular that is the Callington Youth Group, to help them reach their goal of purchasing ‘The Vault’ as a permanent youth centre.

Reverend Andy Atkins from Kit Hill Benefice led the evening with support from volunteers and local community groups including Callington Twinning Association and Callington Lions, as well as local businesses who donated to the raffle.

Callington Lions were also busy on St Piran’s Day delivering supplies for the children at Callington Primary School.

A spokesperson for Callington Lions said: “Many children arrive at school without having breakfast and so for this school year, Callington Lions make monthly deliveries of breakfast cereals and snacks for their afternoon breaks.

“This month we were fortunate enough to deliver on St Piran’s Days when all the children were dressed in their finest Cornish themed clothes and singing Cornish songs.
