THE Cornish Mini Club’s Riviera Run, which took place at Pentewan Sands earlier this year, raised £4,000 for local charities.

The event, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in May, celebrates the magic of one of Britain’s beloved cars while offering visitors with a weekend of activities and entertainment.

The Riviera Run organisers have donated £2,000 to Fowey Lifeboat, £500 to Paws2Freedom, £500 to Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue, £500 to RSPCA Cornwall (St Columb branch) and £500 to Mount Edgcumbe Hospice.

The success of the event is attributed to the hard work of planners David and Karen Osborne and the dedication of the CMC members on the ground.

The chosen charities for the 2026 event are Fowey Lifeboat, The Flicka Foundation Donkey Sanctuary and The Noah Jordan Foundation.
