Join our reporter Tom Howe for NEWSWAVE, your weekly rundown of the top stories happening across St Austell and surrounding areas.

In the latest episode, Tom joins Bryna Jordan to talk through his upcoming Ride for Precious Lives challenge for Children’s Hospice South West, and why he's taking on more than 200 miles of cycling in three days.

We catch up with Cornwall Hospice’s Community Engagement Ambassador, Elaine Dyer, about their Prom Pop‑Up event designed to make prom more accessible for young people in our community.

As well as that, we take a trip to The Eden Project to mark their 25th anniversary with song, community spirit and a rather spectacular cake!

We hear from ShelterBox Programme Funding Manager, Sarah Robinson, about why women and girls face disproportionate risks during conflict and disaster, and how ShelterBox shapes its emergency responses around their needs.

And we welcome Andrew Stokes, Director of Visit England, about how local stories and tourism businesses are driving national growth and supporting places like Cornwall.
