The Truro Old Boys have raised over £3,000 for a number of local charities. 

The group was formed in 2017 by retired army major Graham Humphrey, a Truronian by birth, and of local men who have been friends for many years, some for four decades and with many going to school together or having an affiliation to Truro.

They meet biannually in the White Hart pub for fun, laughter and memories, and crucially, a raffle and auction.

So far, these gatherings have raised almost £20,000 for local causes including Cornwall Air Ambulance, Man Down, Alzheimer’s Society, British Heart Foundation and the Screech Owl Sanctuary.  

This month their event started off with a hearty breakfast at the William IV, followed by a day of fundraising at the White Hart, resulting in £3,130 to be shared between the Cornish White Gold Foundation, Cornwall RSPCA, Sunny Corner, Coosebean Fairy Trail in Truro and Esmee Book Corner in Perranporth.

Cheques will be presented on Saturday.
