A black-tie dinner and auction is being held in aid of a Penryn-based mental health charity.

Breaking Waves, Breaking Stigma will take place on Friday April 5 from 7pm to 11pm at the Greenbank hotel, raising money and awareness for Sea Sanctuary.

The event aims to share and celebrate the work that Sea Sanctuary does to tackle mental health issues in the community.

The charity works with families, adults and children who suffer from a range of mental health issues.

It provides people with new perspectives and promotes mindfulness and emotional resilience through a variety of water-based activities.

The auctions will be the main event of the evening after a three course meal provided by the Greenbank hotel.

All proceedings from the auction will go towards the charity.

The items that will be auctioned off include a chess set, art and various vouchers amongst others.

Tickets for the event start at £50 per person and there are offers available on table bookings.
