Hello! Thanks for visiting our JustGiving Page.

On Sunday, 18th May 2025, three teams from Proper Cornish will be taking part in the Lions Club of Bodmin’s Ten Tors 42nd Annual Walk. It’s a grueling 13 mile walk over moorland, up and down some of the highest hills in Cornwall! Although we are expecting blisters and aching feet, it’s all in aid of a good cause as we are raising funds for The Hugs Foundation in Bodmin, which has been Proper Cornish’s chosen charity since 2018.

The Hugs Foundation is a registered charity whose multiple aims are to; rescue, rehabilitate and re-home unwanted, abused and abandoned horses and ponies, improve children and young people’s mental and physical well-being and increase social inclusion amongst the elderly. Their services include supportive interventions to children, young people and the elderly who are experiencing a range of problems including disadvantages, mental ill health, physical and learning disabilities, trauma, abuse and social isolation. Their work is making positive changes to lives 💚🐴

With the cost-of-living crisis hitting us all hard it has especially affected animal charities with more and more people unable to provide the relevant care which is required for their animals. Hugs have seen significant increases in the number of people who are giving up the care of their horses, donkeys, and other farm animals. This has put increased strain on The Hugs Foundation who now, more than ever, are in need of our support!

Please donate as much as you can afford – all amounts will be really appreciated.

Thank you once again for visiting our JustGiving Page and for your donation.

So now it’s time to get on with some training and hope the worse we end up with is aching feet and blisters!

Thank you from the three Proper Cornish teams.
