Bodmin Jail nominates the Cornwall Hospice Care as its supported charity for 2019.
It’s been revealed that Cornish healthcare charity Cornwall Hospice Care has been chosen as Bodmin Jail’s Charity of the Year. The 12 month corporate project will run from Monday 1st April 2019, until the end of March 2020, and will help raise the vital funds needed to provide specialist care to terminally ill patients across the county.
Oli Hoare is Head of Fundraising for the charity; “We’re delighted to have been chosen by the team at Bodmin Jail, a superb Cornish attraction based in the heart of the county we serve.
Corporate support such as this ensures we can continue to provide specialist care to our patients and their families and carers at no charge to them. We’re now busy planning a year of fundraising activities. We strive to offer new and different events to our supporters and Bodmin Jail provides us with a totally different and unique venue. New for this year for instance, will be a Murder Mystery Evening in June, imagine that!”
Martin Lyall, General Manager from Bodmin Jail; “We are very pleased to have chosen Cornwall Hospice Care as our Charity of the Year in our first venture of having a chosen charity. We look forward to working together to raise awareness and much needed funds for this valuable cause, in what is a significant year for the jail with our 38 million pound investment.”

About Cornwall Hospice Care
Cornwall Hospice Care is a 24/7 Cornish Healthcare charity that provides specialist care for people with terminal illnesses. Our nursing teams support patients and their families, carers and friends at Mount Edgcumbe Hospice in St Austell, St Julia’s Hospice in Hayle and in Cornwall’s hospitals, care homes and in the community with our new Neighbourhood Hubs and Open Houses. The charity also runs a 24 hour advice line for other healthcare professionals. It costs over £5.15 million to provide the specialist care we offer to our in and out patients. Only 19% of this is funded through a contribution from Cornwall’s NHS Commissioners. The rest is raised thanks to the people of Cornwall who leave us legacies, support fundraising events, play our lottery and donate to, and buy in, our 32 shops.
