Porthleven CIC is pleased to announce that from the profits from our three CIC businesses - marquee hire, car park and mini-bus hire - we are able to make available £2000 in 2017 for community projects in Porthleven. A short application form will be made available shortly, but you can register your interest by emailing [email protected]

Any application must be from groups/organisation that are within the parish boundary of Porthleven. I am afraid, we can't accept application from outside the boundaries.

Lovely piece on Porthleven. Our town trail gets a mention too!

Wave riders from across the UK love to get barrelled in the hollow green waves of a Porthleven swell. Yet Porthleven isn't just a sweet spot for surfers

*Drum roll*

Porthleven CIC has now completed all of the projects it set out to achieve as part of the grant award of £99,950 from the Coastal Community Fund. These projects were: Up-lighting the Bickford-Smith Institute in partnership with the Porthleven Lights Committee; a new 72 space car park named Withy Field in partnership with Coodes Estate and Porthleven Football Club; a website; Marquee Hire business and the Porthleven Town Trail with smart app. All this was achieved on time and under budget.

As part of the Marquee Hire business, the CIC needed a towing vehicle. Our grant funders allowed the CIC to purchase a nine-seat mini bus with support from the South Kerrier Alliance CIC. This mini bus will not only tow the marquee equipment, but also carry the installation team to the various jobs. However, rather than just the mini bus sitting idle when not being used by the CIC; we want to allow community organisations and groups to have access to a cheap form of transport.

Porthleven CIC understands community organisations and a multitude of different groups have difficulty with transport, or find hiring a mini bus an expensive option. This is why we as a CIC want to help those groups and organisations. Therefore, Porthleven CIC are pleased to announce the mini bus will be available to hire for a small fee of £50 per two days. This offer is open to all groups and organisation, not just those in Porthleven.

If you are interested in hiring this vehicle please email [email protected]
