St Sampson’s Church Going for Gold!


Our accolade of a bronze Eco award is an achievement, but we want silver and then gold.   With everything we do at St Sampson’s Church, we try to consider environmental impacts.  From the cups we drink from, the energy we use and the care of the building every day and as part of the restoration project.  We are pleased to say we are not far off a silver award, which only three other churches in Cornwall have achieved.

Tamar Valley Health PPG


The PPG would like to introduce you to different teams of clinicians so you can see why your call is triaged and you are given an appointment or telephone call with the person best qualified to help you. We had a discussion with Paul Symonds about the roles of paramedics. Paul is the Team leader of the Acute Care Team and has recently qualified as an Advanced Practitioner. There is also Ben who is a prescribing paramedic and John who has recently joined the team and has 20 years’ experience as a paramedic and 5 years in primary care (home visits) as well as Neil, nurse practitioner and Julia who is a physician associate.

Newsletter published every month as little and often was agreed and appears to be best. We have increased delivered printed copies to 30 which includes copies left at The Parish hall, The Church and Bray Shop share box. TY Sue & Astrid for sending the newsletter emails and keeping the data base up to date. Peter will now schedule and email the newsletters. TY

Content With events in full swing there’s always plenty to include. Discussed reducing the number of pages and sending by mailchimp to condense and provide stats. Look at printing in blue and use of different fonts, possible article ask opticians.
