Video on migrant workers in Cornwall

It's probably a good ten years old but this video by Cornish-based charity Point Europa has some interesting ideas.... Click here to view.
I spotted at least one familiar face - Community Police Support Officer Bev Faull who is based in Camborne and still looks after the migrant worker beat in west Cornwall.
Many thanks to Judith Cook for sending this over.

Brexit, xenophobia and a radio show

Great to hear that Bridging Arts volunteer Mike Matthews has a regular slot now on KFM Radio in Redruth, Cornwall.   KFM radio literally gives people a voice - especially people who might not otherwise have a chance to make their views known.
Not so good though to hear from  Mike that he's encountering much more xenophobia - prejudice about migrant workers - since the Brexit debate kicked off. Not good news at all.
Mike helped us with I Packed This Myself, a project we ran a few years ago bringing local people and migrant workers together across Cornwall. Perhaps it's time to revisit this.
