Committed to our community
Supporting our community today and for generations to come.
The Trust has the responsibility of distributing the funds associated with the The Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre (CERC).
Funded by both Cornwall Council and Suez (Sita UK), the Trust receives £200,000 a year during the construction period and around £100,000 per year during the operational life of the CERC.
The Trust is made up of six parish Councillors and seven local resident trustees. They have a sound working knowledge of the local community and its needs.
All Trustees are voluntary members of the Trust and as such receive no remuneration from the fund whatsoever.
