All 9 Better Cornwall Centres are now Smoke-Free Centres

As a Better Cornwall Leisure Centre, Helston, St Ives and St Austell, are joining Bodmin; Bude; Liskeard; Newquay; Saltash and Truro as Smoke-Free Centres. 

October is the 'Stoptober' Campaign, and we are supporting this by launching our final three centres.

Healthy Cornwall's Health Improvement Practitioners visiting the centres on:

St Ives LC - Friday 16th October 11am - 1pm - providing support and information on how to reduce or quit.

St Austell LC - Wednesday 21st - providing support and information on how to reduce or quit.

Helston LC -  Friday 23rd October 11am - 1pm - providing support and information on how to reduce or quit.

As a GLL Partnership we have been working with partners Healthy Cornwall and Public Health, throughout the year to establish all our centres across Cornwall as Smoke-Free Sites. 

We started this campaign earlier in the year, as part of National No Smoking Day, in March, with our first centre Bodmin. Each month since then we have brought online, Bude, Liskeard and Saltash. We now have all 9 of our centres on board, completing the partnership during this month of 'Stoptober'.

Every year, Public Health England, the NHS and local support organisations work together to support communities to reduce smoking and take positive steps towards better health. 

2026, the Cornwall Better Partnership (GLL) felt the collaboration with Healthy Cornwall and Public Health would be a positive partnership, as part of its plan to make its communities healthy.

Alongside partners highlighting the benefits of quitting smoking or vaping, supporting people on their journey.

We hope you will support our journey as an organisation to help people improve their health by seeing and experiencing the benefits of stopping smoking and vaping.
