CTC.CIC is open to all the general public but prides itself at helping those who are facing hardship. Whatever situation homeless, house fire, fleeing domestic violence, a young or elderly person struggling to set up home or a working household who just can't afford a necessity item we can provide free household items to help. OUR VISION We are the Chest, You have the Treasure, We can help other people by joining Together OUR MISSION To provide household items at a price the individual can afford. To promote awareness of community & help alleviate those in hardship. To reduce landfill waste & help create a cleaner environment. To build on our community network & grow to its needs. With our Vision & mission in mind we have progressed the business and previously provided Christmas shoe boxes, help the homeless, Easter gifts for local children, food parcels and lunch packs during the school holidays. In August 2019 we started a new project Liskeard Community Fridge. LISKEARD COMMUNITY FRIDGE is an innovative resource for everyone in the community with the aim to make use of food that would otherwise go to waste. We work with local suppliers to provide this service and are hoping to make more connections to increase food intake to keep up with demand.

The foodbank helps individuals and families in crisis, through the provision of emergency food supplies. A network professional care agencies refer people to the foodbank centre where people receive food. For clients in rural areas we deliver emergency food boxes. Each person receives enough nutritionally-balanced food for three days. This process directly helps members of the public in crisis.

We run ‘pain cafes’ in the local area, a place for those struggling with chronic pain to come together, meet new people and learn new skills. We operate from Community Hubs in Plymouth as well as Saltash. Participants may self refer, having recognised that there is limited help available locally for those with chronic pain or may be referred by local Social Prescribers or Wellbeing Hubs. We want people to take back ownership of their pain condition, reduce their pain levels and start enjoying life again. . The cafes are free at point of access to all participants. Donations of food received locally are given out as refreshments at the pain cafes and any excess is donated free to the local community.We run pain cafes locally to help everyone struggling with chronic pain. We provide community support, teach skills to learn self management and provide seated yoga. All free of charge! We run our Saltash session from the Saltash studios, please see website for further details.
