The Mission Harlyn Bay

Well… what an evening! 😎🏖️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came along to the Mission Lifeguard Race. The support was absolutely unbelievable, the beach was heaving, it was HOT… and somehow we all survived! 😂☀️

Thanks to all of you, we’ve raised an incredible £4,045!🎉🙌 That’s absolutely amazing and we couldn’t be more grateful.

A massive shout-out to our brilliant volunteers who gave up their time (and probably a fair bit of sweat!) to help make the evening happen. You’re absolute stars. ⭐

And thank you to everyone who donated prizes, bought raffle tickets, grabbed some refreshments and generally threw your support behind us. ❤️

You lot really are something special.

Same time next year? 🤙🏼

Another lovely video from last year, kindly shared by one of our wonderful supporters! 💛

As you can see… things can get rather competitive! 😂🏆

And a little heads-up: we weren’t able to get hold of as many solar eclipse glasses as we would have liked. So, once they’re gone, they’re gone! 🌞🕶️

We’re sorry we couldn’t get more, and thank you for your understanding. 💛

To all of our lovely followers!
Our good friend Pete from Kernow Trees & Garden Services made it onto Sky news today!

For any post storm needs or any tree/garden work in general, he’s your man!

Go check out the page :)

Excited to have been invited on sky news this morning, albeit, whilst we were experiencing a power cut like many others here in Cornwall.

There have been a significant number of trees down blocking highways and cutting power from last night winds that reached over 100mph.

We have never experienced winds as strong here in Cornwall before and advice for everyone is stay put, whilst ourselves and many other brilliant service teams restore things back to normality.

Just a few things to watch out for:

- Fallen trees still pose a threat they could be hiding power lines and electric could be transferred through the trees. Keep distance and contact national grid on 0800 096 3080 to report these.
- ⁠With the high winds, branches will have snapped and could still be hanging in the trees, over roads, driveways and properties. Be vigilant, look up and take care.
- ⁠Look for signs of upheaval. Root plates can lift leaving the trees precarious. Get in touch with us or your local arborist to come out and assess.

Please stay inside where safe, there’s a lot of excitement around storms but keeping roads clearer will help us clear the debris.
