During the year the Council supports financially the following organizations within the Village:-

Feast Week, Christmas Lights, Playing Fields, Mevagissey on the Move, Toddlers Group, Jubilee Hall, Community Policeman & Gig Club. The Council has an unwritten rule that the taxpayers money of Mevagissey is only used for the benefit of Mevagissey.
