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 2025 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.
NEXT STREET STALL – TRURO FRIDAY 21 FEBRUARY
We’ll be continuing with the Erasmus theme at our next stall, which will be in Truro on Friday 21 February, and we now have the official leaflets and postcards for people to send to their MPs, which we didn’t have last time. If you’re free that day, please come along to say hello, put your answers on the board and pick up a postcard. We will be on Pydar Street near the library from 10.30 am until around 1.00 pm. If you feel like spending a little time with us on the stall, that would be even more welcome.
Come along and have a chat, or maybe join us for a while – it can be great fun!
STREET STALL – FALMOUTH – 25 JANUARY 2025
“This is Erasmus” action day.
Very positive, if chilly stall in Falmouth yesterday! Thanks to all volunteers for standing in the cold. Despite that, we still managed to engage with plenty of people regarding Erasmus and other topical issues.
If you haven’t signed the Erasmus petition yet, you can find it on the European Movement website. #EMUK
While you’re at it, why not also sign the petition calling for the UK to rejoin the EU as soon as possible?
GREAT NEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN MOVEMENT!
DOMINIC GRIEVE AND CAROLINE LUCAS ANNOUNCED AS NEW CO-PRESIDENTS
Dominic and Caroline were appointed to replace Lord Heseltine, who has stood down at age 91, and nothing could better demonstrate the true cross-party ethos of EM. You can read more about these changes and also access Michael Heseltine’s departing speech here. The two new Co-Presidents came together to create their excellent welcome message in a joint video which you can access here.
If you aren’t an EM member yet, why not join now? Membership begins from just £3.50 per month and you would be helping to support not just EM, but all the branch and affiliated groups across the country that come together under the EM banner.

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.
