Cornwall for Europe is an independent, cross-party campaign group, and although we have affiliation to the European Movement, any views expressed on this page are those of Cornwall for Europe and not necessarily those of the European Movement and, as such, any financial responsibility rests with Cornwall for Europe.
The Cornwall4EU team are always busy in the background, posting on social media, maintaining the website and pages, producing our monthly newsletter and generally keeping in touch with our members.
Our aim of renewing a close relationship with Europe has never diminished, and we are hoping that we will see the renewed energy behind the UK’s will to rejoin the EU continue to grow. Keep an eye on our Events page and our Facebook pages for details of forthcoming events and campaigns, as these will be taking place throughout the year.
Friday 25 September at 6:00 pm – “Targeting the manifestos: How we get parties committing to Europe”
Talk and Q&A with Mike Galsworthy!
Join us at Truro Prep School for an evening talk and Q&A with Mike Galsworthy – Chair of European Movement UK, founder and sole director of Scientists for EU, and founder and co-director of the Bylines Network of ten citizen journalism publications.
Mike’s talk will focus on setting out what “targeting the manifestos” really means in practice: how to seize this moment between now and the next general election to pin down political party commitments for the next parliament and, very specifically, get a public mandate at that vote for opening accession talks for full EU membership.
There will be plenty of time after the talk for questions and the evening will end with some socialising time over tea and coffee.
Don’t miss this opportunity for an open discussion with one of the leading figures in the pro-EU movement within the UK.
Full details can be found on the Eventbrite page via the button below.
We’re really hoping that many of you will join us!
Our latest monthly newsletter
STALL AT PENZANCE PRIDE – SATURDAY 12 SEPTEMBER – PENZANCE PROMENADE
We will be supporting the Penzance Pride event with a stand on the Penzance Promenade. As usual, we will have an Opinionometer for people to engage with and provide their views on topical questions, as well as stickers, badges and a variety of leaflets.
We’ll be there all day, so come along and say hello while supporting the LGBT+ community – something that is sorely needed given the attitudes of the rising far-right element of our society.
Would you like to help our group to continue the campaign?

Brexit is here
What next?
Cornwall for Europe believes that Britain’s best future lies in the closest possible relationship with the EU and a continued commitment to the values that it represents: human dignity and human rights, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law. Brexit, both in itself and in the way it has been achieved, represents an attempt to move our country away from these fundamental values. We believe that the UK should play its full part in the family of European nations as an EU member state.
We have shown with your help that we can work together and are a force to be reckoned with and along with other organisations, we will continue the fight and make a difference. We will campaign to have as close a relationship as possible with the EU and to rejoin at the soonest opportunity.
