As an Organisation Audience transport makes up around 60% of our carbon emissions, with the majority of this coming from car journeys. Whilst we understand that it is not always possible to avoid car use as we live in a rural area, it would be great if you could help us protect the environment and, where possible, choose to take an alternative form of transport.
IntoBodmin is located at The Old Library at the top of the high street in Bodmin: The Old Library, 10 Lower Bore Street, Bodmin PL31 2JX.

Bodmin walking bus
If you are able to walk, but may feel less confident doing this on your own, we are trialing a Bodmin walking bus during the summer of 2024. This is a way to build confidence, get more active and meet new people. We would like as many people as possible to get involved with this project. Find more information at https: //intobodmin.co.uk/the-walking-bus/.
