Please help us to fix the Penlee House Roof!

The historic building of Penlee House needs urgent work. We need your support to raise the money needed. The roof, parts of it over 150 years old, can no longer withstand the levels of rainfall. With our changing climate, this will only get worse.

Penlee House holds some of the finest works of art from the Newlyn School, and we cannot put them at risk of damage. We have a fundraising target of £90,000. This will enable us to repair and replace the roof and guttering.

We need your help, please donate and keep a much-loved Penzance landmark safe.

Ways to donate:


You can also donate when you pop into Penlee House using their contactless donation station or by speaking to our friendly shop staff and making a donation by cash, cheque or card.

Cheques can also be posted to Roof Appeal, Penlee House, Morrab Road, Penzance, TR18 4HE. They should be made payable to ‘Penzance Council’.
