We have been blown away by the outstanding support for our Coastal Centre campaign ,...
Two Bays Trust Coastal Centre

Aim
Our fantastic Coastal Centre is taking shape! We have now stretched our target to cover the cost of the interactive tech for our displays.
The Two Bays Trust – delivering coastal conservation and mental health and wellbeing support on the stunning North Cornwall coast.
We are passionate about the health and wellbeing of the community and visitors, collaboration for the greater good, and coastal conservation, in particular the conservation of this unique and beautiful stretch of the North Cornwall Coast .
We have a 3-word mission statement...
Community ~ Collaboration ~ Conservation
Please do contact us if you would like to collaborate in any way.
The Two Bays Coastal Centre @Trevathan Farm
We are fortunate that Trevathan Farm, one of North Cornwall’s leading farm shops and eateries, has invited us to locate the Coastal Centre on their land. We have installed a 40 foot shipping container which we have now begun to convert into a beautiful, fully-functioning new community resource.
The Coastal Centre Hub will be key to our growth and our aim to 'promote for the benefit of the public the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment". Key to this will be activities such as:
- Education programmes for local schools
- Education of the public on the marine environment
- Workshops
- Classes
- Guided nature walks
- Beach cleans
- Rock pool safaris
- Ocean plastic recycling
- Foraging trips
- Wildlife surveys
- Citizen science projects
Blue Health
In collaboration with Pentreath and Cornwall Mind, we will be using the above activities, and others, to provide mental health and wellbeing benefits to the community and our regular visitors. In the mould of Green Social Prescribing, we will use our conservation activities to help those suffering anxiety, stress and feelings of isolation. Most of our activities will be group based, but our trustees and volunteers will be Mental Health First Aid trained and will be on hand if anyone needs a 1 to 1 chat. With the support of Pentreath, we will be able to introduce people to their services, and vice versa.
