Keep it Cornish
Please note this campaign is not currently active.
Keep it Cornish is about helping Cornwall to bounce forward after lockdown by working together to keep money in Cornwall - and attracting more trade in.
It's also a place for Cornwall's businesses to swap ideas on adapting to the new normal post-lockdown, access training and find the best places to get advice.
Let's help Cornwall accelerate out of the pandemic by choosing Cornish. Let's shop and do business in a more sustainable way - being aware of how production miles affect our carbon footprint. Let's be proud and spread the word about our award winning and accredited Cornish products and services.
Keep it Cornish stories
Has your businesses adapted to meet the challenges you faced during lockdown or since reopening? Have you changed what products your sell or how you sell them?
Do you ensure your supply chains are as Cornish as possible? Do you intend to in the future?
Did your business provide help to vulnerable people in our community during lockdown?
Please share you experiences; photos and videos of how your business is bouncing forward - and inspire others to do the same.
