Bodmin Way is improving the wellbeing of residents in the town and nearby villages. As a social enterprise owned by local parish churches, it’s network of relationships and facilities are deeply embedded in the community. The staff, volunteers and directors are particularly committed to support those who face the most challenges. It provides a range of opportunities for everyone which can be found on its website and social media pages.
