Weaving Cornwall’s Stories into a Human-First, Tech-Bright Community

At CornwallThrive, we’re not a platform—we’re a community, rooted in Cornwall’s cobbled streets and moors. Our "10 Promises" pledge to put people before algorithms, honour Cornwall's markets, and share stories like Mevagissey’s nets. People create the tales, from fudge recipes to Scilly’s myths, but AI and digital support will help them flourish. We grow together, transparent and inclusive, celebrating every voice from St Ives to Redruth. Join us to build a thriving community where local roots and digital dreams work in unison.

The CornwallThrive Promises

1. We Put People Before Profit

Our community is built on care, not competition. We believe businesses thrive best when people come first — as neighbours, customers, and friends.

2. We Celebrate Local Voices

Every voice matters. We listen to the wisdom of long-time locals and fresh ideas from new faces. Together, we shape something better.

3. We Choose Collaboration Over Competition

We’re stronger when we lift each other. Sharing resources, ideas, and time isn't weakness — it’s how villages grow strong.

4. We Honour Our Roots

Our traditions and history are not just stories — they’re part of our identity. We honour what came before us as we build what’s next.

5. We Welcome Honest Work

Every trade, craft, and job has value. We support local talent, small businesses, and those who serve our communities quietly every day.

6. We Share Success

When one of us wins, we all win. We promote and lift each other up — not for likes, but for legacy.

7. We Nurture the Next Generation

Young people need roots and wings. We create opportunities for them to grow, learn, and one day lead with pride.

8. We Protect Our Place

Cornwall’s beauty and soul deserve care. We support sustainable choices and protect what makes this place unique — for today and tomorrow.

9. We Keep It Real

No buzzwords. No false promises. Just honest work, straight talk, and a hand extended in good faith.

10. We Show Up

Building a thriving village takes time. We commit to showing up — showing up is both online and offline, sharing online will encourage offline, let's create this movement!
