Story
The Event
The Cornwall Hotel Collection's Coastal Convoy, kindly sponsored by Fal River Cornwall and Flushing Sailing Club, will take place on Sunday 12th October in aid of this year’s chosen charity, Bliss.
The Greenbank, The Alverton, and The Falmouth hotel teams will be walking the arduous 17 miles (27km) from Truro to Falmouth, rambling along the coast path in convoy. We will be bucket shaking along the way, pausing at Truro, Trelissick, Mylor, and Flushing, with the aim of raising as much money as possible for this fantastic charity.
All members of the Cornwall Hotel Collection are welcome, including family, friends, and dogs – the more the merrier! We only ask that all those taking part have secured sponsorship and contribute to our tally, with all participants raising £100 minimum as part of their entry.
Why are we doing it?
Nominated by The Greenbank's Hotel Manager, Matt Garland, and voted for across our three hotels, Bliss is a charity dear to many of our hearts.
A word from Matt on the chosen charity, Bliss:
“On 1st October 2021, our son Jesse arrived into the world weighing just under 3 pounds. He spent five weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where he received truly exceptional care from dedicated nurses and brilliant consultants. While Jesse's care was outstanding, we quickly realised that support for parents in NICU can often be overlooked. That’s why I chose to support Bliss. They not only advocate for premature and sick babies but also provide crucial resources for the families behind those incubators. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky. Our NICU journey was relatively short, and we came out the other side with a healthy, thriving little boy. But not every family is as fortunate. Bliss is there for those who face longer stays, tougher outcomes, and more uncertainty — and I hope our fundraising can help them continue that vital work now and in the future. Thank you all so much for helping us support this amazing cause.”
