We catch up with Kiley Pearce, Events Fundraiser at Children’s Hospice South West, ahead of this year’s Rainbow Run Cornwall - the county’s brightest family fun run, which last year raised an astonishing £107,000.
We also hear from Caroline Childe, music leader of a special local choir for people living with dementia and their carers, as they prepare for a heart‑warming concert marking the close of their latest project.
Plus, Ruth Forrest joins us with important news for families claiming Child Benefit, explaining the upcoming increase to payments and why parents are being encouraged to register as early as possible.
And we sit down with Helen Tiplady and James D’Arcy to talk about an exciting six‑day musical theatre summer school being run by Falmouth University and the Get Creative team - culminating in a public performance of Legally Blonde Jr this August.
