Creating a sustainable wardrobe that works for you.


Getting to grips with ‘wardrobe economics’ is the key to sustainability. There are three variables to consider:

  • money
  • time
  • the planet

On average we wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. That equates to an awful lot of clothes languishing in your wardrobe not ‘earning their keep’! For every £100 spent, £80 is wasted, if not being worn.

We take about 17 minutes a day deliberating what to wear. With a wardrobe that is full of ‘lurkers’ and not ‘workers’ the job of choosing an outfit is often not a joyous one for many people.

Working with a Personal Stylist can be considered a luxury, or something reserved only for people who are really into fashion, but that is simply not the case. I am trained by House of Colour’s rigorous and ongoing programme to help people like you to sort through the noise and get a wardrobe that fills you with joy and works hard for you every day.

By knowing what colours and styles work for your body architecture and lifestyle you can create a wardrobe that has garments that will all be worn and no longer waste money buying items that will not see the light of day. By doing this, you will be reducing the mass consumption that the fashion industry encourages and become more sustainable.

East Cornwall Search and Rescue


East Cornwall Search and Rescue Team is a charity made up of over 40 unpaid volunteers who are on call 24/7, 365 days of the year, supporting statutory emergency services to search and rescue missing persons. Each year it costs around £25,000 to keep the team running, we do not receive any funding from the Government and therefore heavily rely on public generosity.

We are proud to announce that one of our Search Dogs has recently qualified and is now able to assist the team in searches for High Risk Missing Persons. TegOrs who lives in the parish and his handler have worked tirelessly for over two years. Massive congratulations to them both for the incredible work put in. TegOrs brother Mac is not far behind and will hopefully qualify this year. 

Some frequently asked questions about our Search Dogs:

Helicopter Survey


Kate Taylor Smith· Do you remember seeing or hearing about this helicopter with the wheel-shaped object beneath it flying over parts of Cornwall towards the end of February / start of March?

I’m investigating reaction to these overflights, as part of a research project that I am carrying out at Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter.

I’d be most grateful if you could spare 5 – 10 minutes to complete my questionnaire and tell me what you thought: https://exeter.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/cornwall_helicopter…

Thank you so much for your help and time.
