Charities
The Club has a long tradition of supporting charities and good causes. Wherever possible we try to support local charities.
Hence our decision last year to ‘adopt’ little Marshall Janson and his HANDSTAND Appeal. Marshall, from Carharrack, faces a lifetime of struggle following a devastating attack of meningitis, resulting in the loss of all four of his limbs.
The Club is committed to supporting other charities too, none more so than Pedley’s People. After illness and surgery for breast cancer in 2000, Brenda Pedley set up a fundraising team of family and friends to raise money for cancer treatment and research. Brenda, wife of Colts’ chairman Alan, has raised a staggering £70,000. Brenda is always on the lookout for extra volunteers and helpers so if you feel you would like to help or wish to make a donation to Pedley’s People don’t hesitate to phone Brenda on 01209 211975
The Club is also proud that our efforts have helped Precious Lives, Cancer Research, Help for Heroes and Lonely Paws. Last season’s half time bucket collections raised over £5,000 and, in addition to the charities already mentioned, other beneficiaries included Redruth Charitable Trust, Cornwall Air Ambulance and Redruth Town Band.
Any applications for fund-raising activities and publicity will be considered, and should be directed to the club’s secretary by emailing
