Ober da! MSM are delighted to announce that it has been awarded £9,900.00 by the National Lottery Awards for All grant in  October 2023 for their  'Welcome to Cornwall!' project! 

The project aims to strengthen the bonds between the Cornish community and newly arrived refugees and immigrants and more established immigrant communities in Cornwall.  The project will enable participants to learn from each other in a non-formal way through the sharing of practical experiences; food; heritage and lifestyles so that a greater sense of settled status and belonging is achieved; through gaining a better understanding of Cornwall and what it’s like to settle here. The main idea is that by sharing their knowledge; experience and understanding of living in Cornwall with people from other backgrounds; a more cohesive sense of community will be achieved; enhancing general well-being and belonging in general.  See link here for the latest.

Ober da! MSM are delighted to announce that it has been awarded £1450 by the Cornwall Community Foundation in February 2024 for their 'Agas dhe Gernow!' project!

This project aims to deliver Cornish culture learning sessions to the recent Ukrainian refugees into Cornwall. The project will provide ten x one and a half hour sessions of culture and heritage learning sessions over a 10 week period for four refugee families. At the end of the 10 weeks of classes there will be a bus tour of the places in Cornwall learned about during the classes.  The activity will be a pilot project and if successful will form the basis of a plan to run a larger event later on in the year with more families.
