Citizens Advice Cornwall is launching a new challenge GO THE EXTRA MILE  to the public to raise vital funds for the charity to support those facing the growing cost of living crisis in the county.

The Go The Extra Mile event takes place on Sunday 14 May at the National Trust’s Lanhydrock House, near Bodmin. Participants can walk one mile or Go the Extra Mile and do a two mile route around part of the historic estate. The event is open to families and has an accessible route for those with pushchairs or mobility aids.

The event starts at 9am. Entry is £15 for adults, £10 for children. Medals will be given to participants that raise over £20 and a goody bag is up for grabs for the highest fundraiser.
