We begin the news in Cornish this week with the news that more than 1.6m trees in almost 1,000 locations have been planted as part of the Forest for Cornwall, marking its fifth anniversary. Listen out for these Cornish words: gwedhennow [gweth-EN-no], trees, tiogyon [tea-OG-yon], farmers, and chanj an hin [chan-je-an-hin], climate change.

TRANSLATION:
A new map with a list of the projects has been produced. It shows the variety of places that have benefitted from increased tree cover.
Residents, farmers, and community groups have planted trees.
Cornwall Council launched the initiative in 2019 to help the region respond to climate change.
Cabinet member for environment and climate change, Councillor Loic Rich, said: "We're celebrating an incredible five years of Forest for Cornwall and we want to say a huge thank you to all of you who have got involved so far and to all those to come.
"We have many more trees for this winter and lots of tips and advice on how to plant and looking after trees whether you're a farmer or organisation or individual."

PRESENTER:
Our next story is about the community hub operating in St Dennis and Bugle providing a lifeline for people struggling to cope with rising bills and the cost of living. Listen out for these Cornish words: dy鈥橫eurth [dee merth], Tuesday, dy鈥橫ergher [dee MER-her], Wednesday, mis [mees], month.

TRANSLATION
The "multi-information hubs" were set up by Fiona Hunt, a social prescribing worker at the Clays Practice in Roche, who wanted to bring different agencies together to help the community access guidance.
She said people could benefit from a range of services, including paying their water bills, obtaining heating grants, housing support and benefit advice.
The information hub is held at ClayTAWK community centre on the first Wednesday of the month and at Bugle Village Hall on the first Tuesday of every month.
According to ClayTAWK manager Kerry Merrifield they want more people to use the available services.

TRANSLATION
Hundreds of cards and letters have been posted in the Letters to Heaven postbox every week since it was installed in January 2024 in Saltash.
The postbox has been repainted from red to light blue colour to refresh it.
The Mayor of Saltash, councillor Rachel Bullock, said it "helps keep a connection with somebody that you've lost, that you're missing".
The postbox is emptied regularly by the town council and is near capacity on each collection day.
The letters, cards, poems and drawings are not read but are composted and returned to the earth in the spirit of the project.
A similar post box has been installed at Penmount Memorial Gardens in Truro as well.
That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week.
