Welcome to South Hill Community Jubilee Orchard’s participant survey.
This survey will help to inform whether there is enough local support for a new community orchard.

This new space is owned by South Hill Parish Council, near Golberdon, and would be a new area that the local community can access. It will be a joint project between the Council and SHARE.

The past year has been extremely challenging for support groups everywhere, and Slimming World has been no exception.
Some have found this period very difficult (stress and comfort eating); some have actually found it easier (no eating out or socialising over cake); some have concentrated on weight maintenance. All are glad to be getting “back on the bus” for the sake of their health and wellbeing.
Our lovely consultant Luisa Glinn has worked extremely hard to keep everybody from going off the rails. She has organised weekly Zoom sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays, and personal messaging and phonecalls for those less comfortable with technology. Last summer, when we were “unlocked” for a few weeks, we met in a barn on Luisa’s farm so that we could remain socially distanced but still get the help and support we are used to.
We’re flooding back to the Methodist Church schoolroom for our weekly dose of common sense and empathy. Members who stepped back from Slimming World during the pandemic are being welcomed back, and many new members are joining. All are welcome, and with luck by the end of June we’ll be able to use the kitchen to make our tea and coffee – exciting times!
I have absolutely loved groups being back and getting everyone excited about the healthy journey ahead x Luisa (Consultant)
Lockdown was hard but Luisa was always there for us no matter what. Karen
Love being back in group with all and getting to share our experiences though lockdown and a big thank you to Luisa for all her support though this difficult year. Wendy
I love being part of the Social Team… keeps me on track… Great to get back to the Scales and see everyone . Fab support as always x Dawn

THANK YOU for the great feed back on the 1st Treasurer Hunt, so here’s another one.
Part of this route can only be walked in dry weather, so ideal now.
As always we start at Golberdon crossroads, laminated copies of this and other walks are available at the parish hall porch. This walk is a nearly 6 mile walk.
Take the road opposite the war memorial sign posted to South Hill.
Continue pass Keadeen B&B, down to the bridge at Coombe and Phil Cole the butcher and Coombe Small Animal Hotel.
Up the slope pass Trewassick around the bend and look for the double metal gates on your right hand side. The footpath sign is missing. The gate opens easily and please carefully close it behind you. There was young cattle here yesterday and an electric fence which is easy to duck under, I advice you not to touch it. Plus if you run the cattle will run, if you stop they will stop.
Keep the hedge on your left all the way to the gate in the bottom corner. Again an easy gate to open, close putting the rope over the post.
On the road turn RIGHT, past Tregate and the bridge. Can you spot the marker stone, on your left? Pass Higher Ford and the wide sweeping verge (the road was widen here some years ago)
At MANATON take the narrow track to the right of the entrance. This brings you onto the Jericho Rd, straight ahead you’ll pass The Chutney Shed. Just before Jericho there is a field planted with Lavender, and just after the narrow point where the pot holes always are, there is a marker stone on your right.
And onto Camelot Kennels and the dangerous main road, taking care, cross over.
A short way on your right you’ll see a gate into the woods at Holmbush. Take the track and if you have time, explore some of the paths, otherwise, at the junctions take a left, right, left, right, left, until eventually you’ll come to the old mine buildings.
Take the path through the buildings and around to the right following a steepish path dropping down into the road. This is Stoke Rd at Kelly Bray, go RIGHT and pick up the pavement , look for painted stones here.
At the Swingle Tree pub, cut through the car park and cross the main road again and keep RIGHT.
Pass Appleby Lodge and at the next track off to your LEFT take the sign posted Bridlepath. Following the track you’ll come to a metal gate, it’s off it’s hinges, so take care opening and closing. On your right, you’ll see a lovely dated granite marker stone.
Keep following this stoney track, taking in the views of Callington on your left. Eventually you’ll come to a track that joins from the left from Maders, that’s another walk, today stay straight on. Just before the track narrows, there are 2 gateways opposite eachother, on your right is another marker stone.
Continuing, the track become grassy and muddy, fine in dry weather but unadvisable on foot when wet, At the end of the track turn LEFT and soon you’ll see The Chutney Shed again. Keep to the road.
At the junction turn RIGHT then immediately LEFT this junction is known as Beech tree locally. The road is narrow for a short distance , then widens out. From here to Golberdon this area was GOLBER DOWN all open common land, until divided and enclosed in the 1800’s.
Follow the road straight back to the crossroads where you started.

We have been running the South Hill Emergency support now for 5 weeks and although it started quite slowly we have ended up being quite busy.
The biggest problem in South Hill is the distance between the houses, meaning that during the lockdown we have had to rely on the Great work of the South Hill Parish facebook page and the newsletter to let people know we are here to help. Thank you for this as it has obviously been effective.
This is a long post. Written by my granddaughter who is a key worker in Cornwall. I don’t clap for her… I cry and worry.
I don’t work for the NHS, but I am a community carer – unfortunately we don’t get the same acknowledgement as them. (Although I do appreciate everything they do!!)
We get sent to the back of the queue when trying to shop in a short amount of time for clients, I’ve been told off many times by members of the public for not wearing gloves in shops whilst wearing my uniform because of the job I do & the ‘germs I carry’, I see people cross the road whilst I’m in uniform, I’ve been asked silly questions & looked at funny, all because I’m not working for the NHS & am ‘just a carer’.
