Good morning. Wild Planet Trust, the charity which runs Newquay Zoo and Paignton Zoo has reported that it faces a financial crisis, and that it needs to make a plan to save 鈥渁bout 拢1 million in a year鈥.
And the chairman of the trust, Stephen Kings, said that, unfortunately, it would be necessary to make some members of its staff redundant as part of that plan.
According to Mr Kings, there are fewer people visiting the zoos now because of the cost of living crisis. On top of which, the charity had borrowed 拢3 million from the government during the covid emergency and there remained 拢1.4 million of that debt still to be repaid.
Mr Kings added that the trust had plans for new developments, and that it needed the public鈥檚 support 鈥渘ow more than ever鈥.

The Mineral Gallery at the Royal Cornwall Museum has been reopened having been updated at a cost of almost 拢500,000. The money was awarded to Truro by the government from the Town Deal Fund.
There are approximately 12,000 mineral samples in the museum鈥檚 collection, many of which are extremely beautiful, and now they can be seen really clearly because of a more effective lighting system. A video display and new exhibits have also been installed.
Julie Caplin Grey, who is the chair of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, said that the gallery gives a unique view of Cornwall鈥檚 mining history. However, she added that the museum wanted to show how these minerals are used in the present day, whether it be in our mobile phones or car batteries.

The Diocese of Truro is looking for people living in six 鈥渄eprived鈥 rural areas of Cornwall to take part in a survey. The diocese wants to try discover whether the government鈥檚 official measures of deprivation are appropriate for people living in Cornwall.
The survey will be carried out by Plymouth Marjon University in Cornwall. And its results will be shared with local and national politicians, so that resources can be provided in a more appropriate manner to rural areas, and improve the lives of people living there.
Researchers will hold interviews with volunteers from the six communities about their everyday lives, as well as talking to teachers in local schools in order to understand the challenges they face when trying to obtain resources.
And that鈥檚 all from me for this week. Until next time!
