Two weeks before Christmas Day the staff of Fifteen Cornwall have lost their jobs and their wages due to the sudden and unexpected closure of the restaurant.
A group of us have come together to raise whatever we can to support the staff through Christmas, to show our support and to share some funding to help these people get through the next few weeks.
Alongside this Crowdfunder raise the Cornwall Community Foundation has also appealed for donations to enable small emergency grants before Christmas to eligible staff. The funds from this crowdfund will be given to the Cornwall Community Foundation to assist with their fund and also be distributed by them in order to manage this in a cohesive process.
It's time to look after our own.
