Rotary Club Time Capsule supports Birth & Baby Appeal Helston’s Cober Valley Rotary Club have pledged their support to ‘The Cornwall Birth and Baby Appeal’ with their ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to leave a legacy for future generations. The club are asking families across Cornwall to consider adding their envelope of thoughts, memories and messages to a time capsule due to be buried on the Penrose Estate in July, to be opened again in 50 years and support the appeal. All funds raised through the time capsule will benefit The Cornwall Birth and Baby Appeal - recently launched by the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity. The appeal will fund equipment which is in real need in the Maternity and Neonatal departments and allow for refurbishments to provide more homely and relaxed environments. Funds will supplement a programme of development, already underway, which has been made possible through £3.6 million of investment from the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. Anyone interested in supporting The Cornwall Birth and Baby Appeal by can purchase an envelope at Wheal Dream in Helston and The Mather Partnership estate agents in Helston. Further information on the appeal can be found at: www.baba.royalcornwall.nhs.uk or contact the charity team on 01872 252858 or RCHT.Charity@nhs.net . Visit our website - www.stminverlink.org
