​At Community Enterprises PL12 (CEPL12), we are the heartbeat of Saltash, providing crucial support & services that many in our community depend on every day. From offering a welcoming space to redistributing food, supporting those with dementia, & serving as a hub for local information & resources, our work touches the lives of thousands. CEPL12 is not just a service provider; we are a vital lifeline that helps to keep Saltash thriving.
But now, we need your help to keep our doors open.
Why We Need Your Help
​
Running these services is costly. The Community Kitchen alone requires £1,300 per week to operate, and when you factor in all our services, we need around £2,400 every week to continue providing the support our community relies on. Rising costs and a drop in donations due to the current economic climate have made it increasingly difficult to cover these expenses.
The Impact of Your Donation
​
Every donation, no matter how small, has a direct impact on our ability to continue our work:
£5 covers petrol costs for a food run to stock the Fridge & Larder for 1 day.
£10 covers the electricity cost to our Community Kitchen for 4 hours.
£15 supports three people at our Memory Box singing group.
Your generosity ensures that Saltash remains a place where everyone has somewhere to turn. Together, we can save our space and change lives.
